It was kind of ironic. I first witnessed the event in my US history classroom. A teacher ran in with a stack full of papers, slamed it on my teacher's desk and quickly ran out. My teacher read it aloud and thought it was a joke or drill at first. Then to see if it was real, we turned on the TV. I had no antenna atatched to it because it was only meant for movies. When it came on there was a fuzzy picture of one of the trade towers smoking. Our class got let out and i ran down to the student center and rigth s i got there i saw the other plane hit. It was a replay of the second plane.

I live in asuburb of chicago so i go there alot on the weekends for whatever reasons. After september 11th, I didn't go for a while. And even now I will go downtown, and my stomach will get a little queesy when I look up at the Sears Tower.

I think that the unity of our naion should be remembered. Following the tragic our country rallied together and we were all united. That bond/togetherness should be remembered.

Yes we did. My dad actually drove 45 minutes home from work and put up our flag becasue nobody was home, and drove back. Today my school had a ceremony where we lowered our flag to half-mast. Now every time I ook at a flag I think of our nation standing together against any force that may prve to be a threat.
