911DA Story: Story


It was a day that will live on forever I was at school and I saw my teachers baffle about something and she turned on the news my stomach dropped so low.It was like a movie but only real the first thing I did was call my dad because he is in the military he is sometime known to show up at the pentagon after I got a hold of him I called my mom she told us her friend was on her way to pick us up so we got out of school I live about 13 miles from the pentagon and I saw the smoke it was like a warzone ambulance flying bye it made me sick. We got to the gate I live on an army base called Fort Belvoir it took us 2 hours to get on they searched evey car they had guns it made me feel secure.

I just want to thank every hero even my brother for being there in the time of need.
