Its so hard to believe that it has been 10 years sense that morning that my dad came into me and emily's bed room and told us that there had been a tragedy. being in 4th grade i didnt really know what that ment, but i knew that it had to be something that was of grave importance beause he seemed to be very up set and when i got up stairs the tv was on wich was never aloud on a school morning. it was then i learned that an air plane had crashed into one of the world traid senters and then another hit the other twin tower. i remember that was a traumatizing thing too see at a young age and people jumping out of the buildings to their death is even hard for adults to see. even now thinking about it still makes my skin crawl. when we saw the towers fall i remember that i kept asking my mom if that was real and i could tell by her tears that it was.
All day at school the news was on in the 5th grade class room and tons of us piled in the door way to try and see what was going on. which we later found out about the pentagon crash and the flight 93 crash in pennsylvaina. almost no school work was done that day and we all did alot of praying.
When Presidant George W. Bush declared war on terrorism i distinctly remember my teacher telling us, "Some of you boys will gorw up and fight in this war one day, and maybe even some of you girls"
to me growing up felt so very far away i didnt think that the war would still be going on. but here we are 10 years later and yes some of my friends have fought in this war and even still some are joining the cause.
I am so thankful for all our sevice men and women, all that they do to protect our freedom. some even paying the ultimate price. freedom is not free. it is bought with heavy price!!! and i think that our military needs to be treated better. thank you millitary for all your courage and bravery to get the job done.
No Darryl Worley i have not forgotten. ill never forget that day. but some people need to be reminded of it. reminded how they felt when they realized that our nation was under attack, killing our inosent people. a war was inevitable. i belive that we are in the right place. id much rather us fight a war over there than here on our land.
