SEPT.11 IS A DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET. WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS OF WHAT HAD HAPPEN I FELT AS IF OUR NATION HAD BEEN BLOWN APART. I FELT SADNESS AND HATERED AT THE SAME TIME.SADNESS FOR ALL THAT WERE LOST TO THIS SENSELESS ACT OF TERRORISM AND HATERED FOR THE MAN THAT DID THIS.I COLUD NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING. I WAS NUMB AND FELT SO LOST.I FELT AS IF EVERYTHING THAT OUR FORFATHERS HAD FOUGHT AND DIED FOR WAS BEING TAKING AWAY. THEN I LISTEN TO OUR PRESIDENT SPEAK AND HE TOLD US THAT WE MUST ALL UNITE AND BE AS ONE.THE ONE THING THAT CAN NO ONE CAN TAKE FROM US IS OUR AMERICAN PRIDE. WE ARE ONE AS A NATION AND FREEDOM CAN NOT BE CAN NOT BE TAKE AWAY. AS THE DAYS PASSED THE NEW FOUND SPIRIT IN THIS OUR GREAT NATION BECAME STONGER. AND OUR COUNTRY BEAGN TO REBUILD.I SEEN PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT RACE CREED OR COLOR UNITE AS ONE.THE TOWERS MAYBE NOT HERE ANY MORE BUT THE PRIDE AND LOVE OF THIS GREAT NATION WILL ALWAYS SURVIVE. A YEAR HAS PAST SINCE THIS TRADGERIC EVENT AND THE PAIN IS EASIER BUT I WILL NEVER FOGET 9-11.THE MEMORY WILL BE FOREVER BURNED IN MY MIND. TODAY AS A NATION WE ARE STONGER. TO DAY WE ARE PROUDER THAN EVER TO BE AMERICANS. AND NO ONE WILL EVER TAKE THAT FROM US. IN CLOSING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT ALL THE VICTIMS OF THIS TRADGERIC EVENT WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY PRAYERS. THEY WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. GOD BLESS THEM ONE AND ALL.AND FINALLY I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT IAM PROUD TO BE AMERICAN AND TO LIVE IN LAND THATS FREE.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
