Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I remember September 11, 2001- I was going into Mrs. Hines third period class, and Mr. McCann (our principle) came over the intercom and informed the school of the recent terrorist attacks. Being somewhat sheltered, I didn't know what "the pentagon" was, or what city "the twin towers" were in. What I remember most about the day was being really scared of what would happen next. I had never even imagined that anyone would attack the United States of America. My best friend at the time had a brother in the military, and we both panicked that he would have to go to war. Overall, it was an eye opening experience for me. Leading the sheltered life that I had, I wasn't aware of all the outside world, and what kinds of relationships we had with them. My life had definitely changed since the incident. I have been exposed to so much- I began to watch the news, and stay posted on current events. I believe I became closer to God, and I told the people that were most important to me how much I loved them (family and friends) just in case I were to never see them again. I think filled me with more patriotism, and I was very proud to be an American. I also became very interested in raising money for the American Red Cross, and I co- started a fundraiser at my school. I believe that the innocent people as well as the should be remembered, but most of all, I believe that the firemen the rescue squads should be remembered as well. So many of them lost their lives in an effort to save fellow Americans. Their job is very dangerous, and it took much courage to enter those towers and fight to find dying people. But don't get me wrong, the innocent people of September 11, 2001 should all be kept in our hearts forever. I have much more respect for the flag than I ever did before. I think it symbolizes so much more to Americans then it did before the attacks. It shows that as a nation, we were able to overcome attacks from foreign lands, and that instead of destroying us, it brought each one of us closer together. It shows that our country is not easily torn down, that we are strong and only become stronger through the pain. Flying the flag should fill an American with pride, for we do live in a great country!
