#NeverForget

11 years ago, for those old enough to remember, Americans witnessed 4 suicide attacks. A total of 19 Islamic terrorists hijacked 4 American flights on the East Coast. On September 11, 2001 there was news coverage of the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and Shanksville, PA.
If I can recall, these events started happening as I was getting ready to go to school on that unforgettable Tuesday morning. I was nine years old and at the time just confused why the Twin Towers were collapsing... I stared at the television screen and could not understand why those people crashed a plane into the side. I believe that this day of American history should be talked about in schools across the nation and recognized in public work places.
September 11 is now and forever going to be a time to pay tribute to those who quietly work to prevent attacks and to those in the military who have sacrificed so much, namely their lives.
Thank you to those who are out there serving to protect our freedom and keeping us safe. You are braver than I am and I am truly thankful for all that you do.
