On September 11, I witnessed an event that will never be forgotten. There will never be any american that will not know what happened on 9-11. This event will most likely be taught to children in school, just like Pearl Harbor or any other devitating event to americans. And now the day September 11 will be taken for a special rememberance day, to honor those who tried to help, and those who were killed. Americans now fear more attacks, and security all over the U.S. has been increased to prevent them. Americans that were directly effected, or strongly effected in some way are organizing groups and funds to help people that are now in need, or without a family. 9-11 is a part of history, because it was a huge event that effected so many innocent people. It will never be forgotten.

September 11th has effected my life if the way that I look at the world. And that I don't feel safe trusting people anymore. Not trust from person to person, but strangers in general. Its made me a little more cautious about everything. It makes me so mad that people take their opinions and personal thoughts so far because they think that they are right, to the point where they are hurting other people. You should never hurt someone else because your opinions differ from one another.

I think that nobody should forget their own experiences. Everyone should remember where they were and exactly what they were doing when they found out what had happened. People that were not directly effected by the attacks should try not to forget, but people who were, its probably impossible to forget. People have lost family and friends that were innocent. And now some people don't have a place to live. All Americans should really go out on a limb and do everything possible to help those in need.

Yes, I put up a flag in my room. My feelings have definetly changed about the flag now, as opposed to before the attacks. Usually you see the flag on holidays, like Labor Day and Memorial Day, but now you see them on cars and windows, in stores, all over peoples property. It makes me feel as if America is now one huge family brought together with their flags. Everyone has experienced this event in some way. Its something every American has in common
