I was in my 2nd period science class and an anouncement came over the PA system telling the teachers not to turn on their T.V. or if it was on to turn it off. We did not have our T.V. on and had no clue what the anoucement was about so we turned it on and right then i saw the second plane hit the tower. Right when we turned it on,the very second. Our class was in shock, me,personally, I didn't think the fotage was real at first then they showed a prediction of how many people were in the building and how many would never leave.

Not as much as someoe who lost a loved one or friend but, I do have more of a sense of pride in our nation.

How quickly the rescue workers, firemen, police, and paramedics reacted and the curage they had to go up when all the people around were running for their lives, they still kept going to try and find someone who might be traped. I think that is a great thing about this nation, the care people exhibit when a crisis is on hand.

Yes, I now see it more as a symbol of our beliefs and political ideas. Not just our nation's flag.
