I witnessed history of September 11th by when i came home from school i knew something was wrong. My school mentioned something about New York City but i did not know much about it. When i came in and saw my mom watching the news i was astounded! I never knew something like that could happen so quickly. My first questiont that came to my mind was " Is Marshall (My older brother> okay?" He went to High school in the city and i was terified. I asked about if everyone was okay. I was so scared i did not know what to think. I am going to be telling this story to my own children when i grow up.

This changed my life by always expect the unexpected and to always stay together and have someone to look to, to talk to. It also changed my life because i knew so many people there and i realized how many people took risks to save other people. I look up to those police officers and firemen who lost their lives. That is what I call a real hero.

I think what should be remembered about September 11th is all the lives that were taken so fast. Also of how many soilders are putting themselves in war to help our country and to protect the young adults today.

Yes my family does. My feelings some what changed for the American Flag because i realized how much of a symbol of that is to the United States. I always knew it was a symbol but i never knew how much meaning it had to it. I never really listened to the national anthem until after 9-11.
