I first saw the incident on television at school. It was on all the TVs. At that time hadn't heard much; My first thoughts were maybe a bomb or a fire. I was casually watching the screen when the second plane hit. The actual impact was just spectacular... but the consequences of that were just horrible.

Truthfully, it hasn't changed the way I live, but hopefully
it has changed the way I, and everyone else in this nation thinks.

Everything we can. The World Trade Center, the impact, the people. How it has changed and will forever change our nation. I would like to tell my kids and grandkids, who will probably read about this in their text books at school 10 or 20 years from now, what I saw. The collapse, the people running for their lives and the terror on their faces. These are the things we should never forget.I pray nothing this tradgic never happens again to any country, state or city.

Yes, on the tree in my front yard. September 11th hasn't changed the way I feel about the American flag.
