Remembering 9/11/01

On September 11, 2001 I was a Sophomore in highschool. That morning started out like any other. However, that was about to change. Mr. Reeves History class was soon interupeted by the loud speaker asking the teachers in the highschool wing to report to the Libriary followed by another message telling everyone to go to the gym for a special prayer service. We filed out of the room all a little confused but otherwise not too worried. why would we worry? There was no way we could imagine what tragic events were taking place.
That day my whole world was shaken. I had never heard of Bin Laden, and I had never heard anything about terrorist hatingAmerica and what this great nation stands for. Today I reflect back on that day and the days that followed, the victims, their families, the hero's that saved as many as they could. I remember the fear, the anger, the hopelessness; but I also remember thepride and determination that could be felt that day and those that followed. Today I also remember those who havefought and died trying to keep another 9/11 from happening. Today I remember and pray for this America, Home of the Free because of the Brave.

And I'm Back
