I was at school when I found out what was going on. One of my friends came running down the hallway after lunch screaming, "They're gone, they're gone!" I didnt have any idea what was happening until i arrived at class and saw what was on the television. The World Trade Centers were burniing, people were jumping from windows, and then i was called to the office to go home.
I was glad that I could spend this scary and disturbing time with my family. As i sat at home watching i saw the secong falling building fall and saw replays of the pentagon getting hit. I was terrified. Not for me, not for my family and friends but frightened for my country.

My life did change. I didn't lose a loved one and i didnt live near the WTC but my love for the USA became ten times greater.

I think that the NYPD and the FDNY should be remembered the most because of their courageous acts in the face of danger and death.

I have been flying a flag since long before then but i feel that the flag should be changed. After 9-11 the country united instead of falling. We should put a sign on unity on the flag like united we stand in the center of every flag made from now on. We our a stong country and the world needs to know just how strong we are.
