Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Well, we all went to bed on September 10th as we would have on any other night. But the way i was awoken on september 11th was like no other way i have ever experianced in my life. "Were at war. Were being attacked" is all i could here my mom screaming from out in the living room. Assuming my mom was just going crazy i went out to see what was the matter as most people would do. Our cable had accidentally been cut on the day before (sept 10th) by the neighbor digging a whole so all we had was a poor reception that our old antenna could give us and i witnessed the horrific site of the plane crashing into the world trade center. All i could think was "this can't be happening" theres no way this is real. I've grown up my whole life and nothing of this magnitude has ever come about. I sat their in awe watching as they showed the replay over and over again. I felt sorrow, fear, hate for who did this, and well nationalism as i had never felt before. I wanted revenge. I felt like i could do nothing but just watch this tv cause i couldn't believe what i was seeing. but i knew i had to go to college because my classes hadn't been cancelled. so i quickly got ready and the teacher after yelling at me for being late was totally in shock when i told her what happend. To be honest she didn't even believe me tell after class when everyone out in the hallways were talking about it. No one in class actually believed me. They thought i just made up some pathetic excuse on why i was late. I will never forget what happend on September 11th. It was almost as if my generations inocense had been stolen by some mysterious figure that we had no idea whom he was. People have compared this to the event of the JFK assassination on the previous generations, or the events of Pearl Harbor. How could this be. Pearl Harbor was an attack on our military base. September 11th was an attack on the innocence, honor, FREEDOM of America. Since september 11th i've come to the realization that America can be just as vulnerable as any other country and that our country is actually still the strongest in my mind. I couldn't believe the massive amount of support everyone has put into trying to save as much as they can from New York and the Pentagon. So god Bless America.
