i remember i came home from school in 8th grade because i was sick. there was nothing on tv except the coverage of the attacks. i remember feeling annoyed that there was nothing on tv except that. i didnt comprehend what had actually happened to our country.
i look back now and i just wasn't able to grasp the concept of what had happened. how serious these actions were. i was too young to actually have felt the deepest sympathy i feel today. watching the tv specials now and listening to the songs on the radio today- i have had my eyes well up with tears multiple times. i can't tell you how many times i have gotten chills that run through me. my heart aches so badly for everyone that was affected. i am so proud to be an american. i am more than grateful every single day for the land i live on and for the troops that continue to stand up and fight for our country. thank you. every single person that has fought for our freedom
