Well i'm a canadian citizen and i remember the exact moment i heard about the tragedy of September 11th. I was sitting in study hall at school when one of my teachers came into the room crying . They then told the class what had happened . There where very few of us i think who actually grasped the consept of what was going on. To me it felt like a thousand knives being shoved into my chest and i did not know how to express myself so i just sat silent for the rest of the day. Until i got home and I just sat down on my chair in the living room and watch the T.v. and watched what was going on until early morning.

Since September 11th i find myself more welling to help out with things. I always try and think of good ways to help the community with it's problems but can never seem to come up with any good ideas. But it is always in my mind to help out the best i can.

I think everything should be remembered. There is nothing about that day and the days that followed it that should be forgotten.

My family and i went out and bought two american flags and hung them half mast on our sail boat for several onths and one still hangs there today.
