On 9/11 America was astonished when we heard what had happened to the World Trade Centers in New York City. Four planes were hijacked while two were flow into the Twin Towers. The other one was crash into the Pentagon and the fourth crashed in Somerset, PA. This day was a shock to all Americans around the world. This tragedy killed many Americans. Ever since then the whole world has been afraid of another terrorist attack.
Ever since 9/11 I myself and many other people are scared that we may be bombed. September 11 has affected our generation because of what it has done to our Nation as a whole. It has put too many people in fear and has hurt people badly, especially those who lose friends, family, and other loved ones. Our generation is constantly being pulled closer together, but not we have all become almost one big family. I feel this way because usually if we would hear that someone one has died that we would kind of bypass it, but now if we hear that someone has lost somebody during this terrorist attack we can really feel their pain.
September 11 has changed me because I feel that I have become more patriotic because I feel that this is what the nation needs right now to over come this tragedy. 9-11 has seriously hurt me deep inside to the point that it is hard for me to even talk about it. I wish that we could show Bin Laden and his gang what he has done to me and America. I know that a wrong doesn?t make a right but in this case I really do think that we should fight back and show how badly it hurts inside.
Since 9/11 people in America have lost so many loved ones, and people are being so understanding to what people are going through and people in towns were many people lost family members are taking care of each other by cooking and trying to get those who lost people to think of the better, happier times.
In conclusion America has been changed dramatically by September 11 and the

bombing of the World Trade Center (Twin Towers). People are being very emotional and cautious about what they say and what they do.
