On September 11th, I didn't know what was going to happen, like millions of other Americans. During that time, I was in school on this mournful tuesday, knowing it was my friend's birthday. Then, it happened. My classmates and I got the horrible message from our teacher, and were pulled out of class for about 15 or 20 minutes, mostly watching the damage on the Pentogon in Washington D.C.(on tv).

My life has changed in a way that I now notice how important a policemen or a firefighters job is. And I probably respect their jobs a little more.

I think what should be remembered more on September 11th is the fact that we lost a lot of people that day over the fact that we lost 4 airliners, 2 trade centers and the damage on the Pentogon.

My family flew an American flag before 9-11, and my feelings of the American flag haven't changed much.
