In school my homeroom teacher told us that the twin towers had been hit by planes. I didn't really now what the twin towers were because i'd never been to New York or anyhting like that so I just thought a little private plane lost control and hit a building, but then he told us the rest of the story about terrorist and how we were under attack. All of the students basiclaay spent the rest of the day in a daze almost.

Yes, I think I'm more aware of the world. I wasn't changed directly because I din't know anyone who died, but I think we are all changed in someway. It's like living through history, it seams weird to me that someday I'll be telling this story to my kids.

I think the fact that America was hurt but not "down for the count" should be remembered. Though the terrorist got us that day we were still strong as a nation and bounced back. I also think that we should always remember the heroic acts of the day. The storys from flight 93 are amzing. I think it took a great deal of courage to attack the terorists how they did.

Yes, I've always had a great respect for the flag. In some ways I think how I see it now is differant though. Before I new it meant freedom, but on 9/11 I truly found out what that meant.
