I Remember
I remember and will always remember. I am sure that this country will never ever forget about September 11. To this day, I still remember exactly what I was doing and where I was at. I still remember how I felt when everything happened.
This day always makes me emotional. I feel sad because so many people were injured and so many lives were lost. So many families were affected. It hurts to know that there were so many children who have to grow up not knowing their fathers. It made me angry to think of how people can just be so evil and have no regard for human life. However, when I look back and watch videos and photographs of people helping one another, I think about how strong and united America is.
Today I plan to reflect on this day of history and remember those whose lives were lost. Today I plan to remember the heroes of September 11.
We will always remember.
"Remember the hours after September 11th when we came together as one to answer the attack against our homeland. We drew strength when our firefighters ran upstairs and risked their lives so that others might live; when rescuers rushed into smoke and fire at the Pentagon; when the men and women of Flight 93 sacrificed themselves to save our nation's Capitol; when flags were hanging from front porches all across America, and strangers became friends. It was the worst day we have ever seen, but it brought out the best in all of us."
-Senator John Kerry
Thanks for visiting!
