Yesterday was Sept 11.. 9/11 Who would have known that a couple of numbers would change the course of America.. change the ideas and Lives of AMERICANS. Do you remember where you were? I was in K.T. Frosts Biology class @ Jordan High school My Junior Year. It was first period, and We saw it on Channel 1.. I remember the Principal coming over the intercom telling the teachers to go about our day as if it were any other day. I remember thinking "what is going on" not knowing until later that day that it was terrorists. I remember the fear, the anger, the sadness, and all of the other feelings that I felt all at the same time.. I remember seeing the images on TV of the man with the brief case, covered in ash. The Fire fighter sitting on the park bench praying his wife got out of the WTC before it fell, knowing she was on the 81rst floor when it was hit.
There have been a few events over the course of America that will be permanently engraved in the hearts and minds of Americans forever.. This definitely will be the one I remember the most.
Jason and I went to New York in March of this year and we went down to ground zero, the freedom tower was just starting to rise into the sky and there were gates and fences cover Ground Zero because of the rain. WE say pictures of the Sky line Before and After.. It was so sad. We also went across the street and went to the Ground Zero Memorial Building and this Statue of Liberty was there. It is covered with pictures and names of the Men and Women who Lost their lives in the towers. Fire Fighters, Police men, Office workers and so on. It was humbling. We are going to make that trip every year. and we will ALWAYS go pay our respects to the hallowed grounds from that day..
UNITED WE STAND...DIVIDED WE FALL..
Im Proud to be an American!!
