My name is Brandon Stone and when i first heard
the news of the bombings in New York City I was in between
classes at school. One of my friends comes up to me and says
point blank "the Twin Towers are gone". Before this event I
did not understand the importance of the World Trade Center so
I guess it did not really shoch me like it should have. I did
not know that it was a terrorist attack or they had actually
fallen. The lack of information was kind of annoying. When
school was over and I got home I got all the information that
had been released at that point. When i got ahold of more of
the information alot of emotions came into play. Pain, Anger,
Confusion, and about every other emotion was there. I'm watching
the news and our counntry has just taken a major blow and
people in Afghanistan are cheering in the streets. Once the
shock was over a new kind of emotion was there... Pride. Pride in our country,
our President, and this great Nation.

Not a direct change; but an overall change in the way i look at some things.

The people that lost there lives serving this country.

Yes, because the flag is representation of what this country stands for.
