Watching the "Today Show" as it was interrupted by the horrifying scenes of September 11th, I looked down at my 6 month old daughter playing on the floor and I cried and thought "What have I done? Why did I bring a child into this evil world?"

I now realize that there are evil people in the world, but I brought my daughter into a country that is more united than it has ever been. September 11th was a horrible tragedy that has brought our nation together. My daughter will be raised around people who are proud of their nation and are unified as one. I do not regret bringing her into this wonderful country.

I feel a sense of pride that I have never felt before. Americans came together to help others and we haven't let the terrorists win. We are a strong nation and I feel like people are more willing to help now. I don't feel alone.

We should remember the victims and pray for their souls. We should never forget the feeling we had on that dreadful day. We all felt a sense of togetherness and unification that many of us have never felt before. We should never lose that feeling and pride that we have in our wonderful country.

I used to see the flag and think nothing of it really. Now I see our flag and remember how wonderful Americans and how beautiful our country truely is.
