I was in school, and no one told us anything. When I left at the end of the day my dad and brother picked me up. They had the radio on, which they never did. The news caster was saying that the World Trade Centers had fallen. I had never heard of those before in my life. My brother said that they were the Twin Towers. Not one bell was going off in my head.
When we got home, we put television on, and all there was, was coverage of the terrorist attacks on our country. That’s all that was on for the next six months.
During that time, America changed. We became a family. People banded together to clean up, take care of one another, and were nice to each other (even while driving). Nearly every house or car sported a flag or a “Support Our Troops” ribbon. It was nice to see America as a family, but the reason for it was something I would have liked to never happen.
I cannot believe it has been ten years since 9/11. Let’s make sure this never happens again.
