9/11

When I woke up to get ready for school on this day nine years ago.. I never knew it would have such big of impact on me. Nine years ago I woke up and was eating breakfast before I went to school. I heard my dad come screaming down the stairs telling us to turn the TV on. After we did my parents burst into tears, and I myself was in complete shock. And I was only nine years old. Once I got to school that was all we watched in class that day. The news was in every class room. It seemed like the day was never going to end and I still remember it like it was yesterday. That night we did a candlelight vigil. One that the whole US came united and did together. Many US citizens lost their loved and dear ones on that day.. and many are losing them now as we fight int he war that was caused because of that day. After that day was over I didn't think it would have much impact on me as my life went on. Of course I would mourn and remember all of those who lost their lives but i didn't think it would matter this much in my heart. Now, my older brother is serving in the military and is in Iraq. Because of this day, nine years ago, My brother is over there and many of the people in the US have loved and dear ones fighting and some who have lost members of their families. It influences everyone, and we will never forget. Please remember today and the Events that have happened.. and please always pray for them and keep the people who are fighting for our freedom in your hearts. Because freedom isn't free..
