It was early in the morning in Portland, Oregon. I just woke up and was going downstairs to eat breakfast and get ready for school. When I arrived downstairs everyone in my family was awake. They were all staring at the television. I looked too and saw a tower billowing out smoke. I was in shock and wasn't sure what was happening.

No, not really. The only thing that has chenged is I have a small fear of airplanes.

All of the lives lost including those who died on the planes, the towers, and the heroes that risked their lives and went into the towers to save others .

Yes, my family did (and still does). Yes, my feelings have changed some. Our flag is a sign of freedom. We should never forget.
