Well I was only in the 4th grade at the times of the attacks. I remember it was during lunch time. A lot of the parents were walking in and out of the cafeteria and picking up kids. So i finally got up and asked why? And a teacher told me there had been an attck on the world trade center. I didn't even know what it was. I got home and my mom was really upset... When my step dad got home we went to go and get some food. And trying to get off base wasn't really that hard.. But when we tried to get back on it was crazy.. Every single gate but two were closed... He explained everything to me and after that I felt so disgusted with the fact that someone hated America sooo much to do something so bad like this... I mean these were innocent people... They never did anything so terrible to deserve a death like that... And now because of that soldiers are going over to Iraq and fightring for there lives.. But I am proud to say that my brother will be going over there in November..
