I sleep with my radio on, and that moring I was sleeping and then all of the sudden i woke up to them talking about the attack. So I immediatly turned on the TV and watched was happening to this country. I did not move from my room the whole day.The next day I did the same thing.It was horrible, I cried the whole day, called my mom becasue she works at OHare airport in Chicago. I have never cried as much in that week than I ever have before.The thing that bothers me the most about this tragedy is that the people who tell us not to go to war, that is not the answer.What is the answer. If we could sit down peacefully and talk to the certian group of people who committed these crimes then we would. But that is not possible, the only way we can communicate with them is by war and harm because that is how they were taught and raised. They don't care if they die, they want to die. You can't help people who don't want to be helped.You can't talk to people whos main purpose in life is to kill people because that will send them to a better place.I know that justice will be served and even though we cannot bring back the men, women, and innocent children that perished that day, I just want to tell everyone that the real heroes in America are those innocent people who died on the 11th and the people who are fighting and risking their lives for ours right now and ever since that horrible day. They will always be remembered. That day and those people will never be forgotten and never should. I heard a saying that I try to live by. you are born on a date and you die on a date but it is that dash in between those two dates that really matters. Pray for those who can't be here everyday and for the holidays becasue they are giving the ultimate sacrafice for us. Love your kids, your family , your neighbors, love everyone like they are your family. God bless everyone who has died for our country, and most of all God bless America.
