I think that the thing that should be rembered the most about 9/11 would have to be the heroism of the men and women of the Police and Fire departments. These men and women all showed why they are the true heros of this day, and how they gave the name "hero" a great meaning once again. The way they layed their lives on the line to try to save the thousands of people in the towers and pentagon was a true heroic act that only certain people could bring themselves to do! the 354 firefighters from the FDNY and he many police officers from the NYPD that lost their lives show how much they care for their job, and also how much they put into saving others before themselves. I think they all showed a great strength and courage to try to save lives and should be rembered greatly as some of the true heros that this country has ever had!!

After the events that occured on 9/11 my family and I flew a flag otuside our house for several weeks. The flag the we were flying I think took a new meaning to many people around the country, and I was one of them. The flag before 9/11 was not really of that much importance to me. i mean i knew what it was about, and what it symbolized. After 9/11 however, the flag meant something more, and symbolized more than it ever had before to me. It became something that when i looked at it, or pledged to it made me feel a sense of thankfulness for where I am and how I am living a free life in the United States Of America. September 11, 2001 truely did change my feelings and outlooks on the flag, but most of all the symbols that it represents about our wonderful country!!
