Never Forget

I know I'm early on this post but I won't be able to post it over the weekend. And this one is a must do.

September 11, 2001

8:46 a.m.

I was sitting in my homeroom class at

Castle Heights Middle School

I was in 6th grade.

All of a sudden one of the teachers was running down the hallway

screaming.

"TURN ON THE NEWS!!"

My teacher, myself, and my peers

watched as one of the two Twin Towers in NYC burned.

Then out of nowhere

a plane came crashing into the second building.

All of us sat in awe and confusion

We didn't know what was going on.

When we went home that day

My parents and I sat in front of our television

not knowing what was going to happen.

So many rumors were spreading that the terrorists were going to attack all major cities

including Charlotte, NC

Our world in American was at a stand still.

For months after these attacks all of Americans came together.

There was just such a bond formed between all of us

strangers and friends.

We all came together to mourn the loss our country had just experienced.

All of us in anger that someone could just come into our country and attempt to rip it apart.

Little did they know, this is America.

We don't go down without a fight.

They rattled the cage of the giant.

To all those who lost loved ones in any of the attacks that day,

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family as we come up on the ten year reunion.
