Remembering 9/11

by Cheval John

Today, we remember the day when 3,000 people lost their lives on that infamous terrorist attack on 9/11..

Everyone knows exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news.

Firefighters and emergency workers risked their lives to try and save those who were trapped in the Twin Towers.

We were mesmorized by the images that were shown on television and were in a state in delusion.

We wondered, “How could 19 terrorist hijacked four planes and struck two buildings in New York City and hit the most secured place in the world, “The Pentagon” in Washington, D.C.?

For me, this day is still troubling because of the fact that there are people who are willing to kill others and bring fear to the masses.

What it also did was bring everyone together and brought a sense of pride to this nation.

We realized that life is short and that we must cherish every moment that is given to us because we don’t know when it will be over.

I really hope that we will never forget 9/11.

God Bless America.
