I was in school when I found out. I just entered my second hour class, when everyone was saying, "Have you heard? A plane ran into the twin towers, and into the pentagon! And while we were watching, another plane ran into the other tower!" The teacher turned on the classroom tv, and we all watched the second tower fall first, and then later, the first tower fall second. It was totally devastating. Nobody knew what was causing it. Everyone thought it was Iraq bombing us or starting a war. No one thought about Usama Bin Laden.

I personally didn't know anyone that died. My life hasn't drasticly changed or anything due to 9/11, but it has had a slight effect on my awairness to terrorists.

I think the firefighters should definatly be remembred, and everyone is doing such a good job at that already. I think the victims need to be remembered, and it should definately be remembered how everyone around the country, and around the world came to help in some way. And we need to realize that help is there when we need it.

No, I didn't personally, but yes, my feelings have gotten stronger, I can't say that they have changed, because I think I have always been proud to be an American, it's just that all this makes you realize it.
