Post Last Updated: 6:02 pm

I posted this yesterday and only one person commented. THANKS LB!!! So i am leaving it up so maybe I can get some more comments

Tomorrow is Patriot's Day. It is in memory of the 9/11 attacks. I don't know if I will be able to post tomorrow, so I am talking about it now. For government class I had to type a letter to the editor about an article about 9/11. I will post it here for all to see. It may end up in the news paper if my government teacher thinks I did a good job on it. Here is it:

When I read your article in the Dayton Daily News this morning, it brought back a lot of the memories I have of that fateful day, five years ago. At that time, I was twelve years old and thought that nothing bad could ever happen to America, but I was wrong, very wrong.
When the first plane crashed into the first tower, I was at a hospital getting a cast on my hand and one of the receptionists came in and told everyone that a plane just crashed into one of the Twin Towers. Before that, I did not know anything about the Twin Towers, but I kind of figured that they were in New York. When I heard the news about the “accident”, I did not know what to think. That was the first time I ever heard of an airplane crashing into a building before, so I thought it was just an accident. On the way home, we saw police vehicles blocking off the exits to get to the Federal Building and I had no idea why until my mom, brother, and I got home. Once we got home, we turned on the television and saw that a second plan crashed into the other tower. I was getting worried then because people were saying that it was a terrorist attack. That worry quickly turned to fear because I never imagined a terrorist attack happening in the U.S.A. I only thought that was something from Hollywood. That shows how naïve I was and how secure I felt to be living in America, the land of the free, the place where nothing terrible like terrorists attacks happen. That day was a wake up call to me and I am sure every American living that day, that we are not invincible and that there are people out there that want to hurt us. Then when I heard about the attack on the Pentagon, I did not have that secure feeling that I had only a couple hours earlier. At that time, I was afraid that bad things were going to keep happening. Later that day, we were at a neighbor’s house and a news reporter pulled up and told us to just sit in the background while my neighbor was being interviewed about his thoughts of the attack. Then we heard a loud BOOM and the news reporters packed up their equipment and headed towards the V.A. Hospital because someone said that it was hit. I was so scared that a war was going to break out in America.
Eventually that fear turned to anger and I wanted to get back at whoever did this to us. I was angry for every innocent person that lost his or her life in that attack. I may have been twelve years old, but I knew that what had happened was wrong and someone who thinks they can destroy a way of life should not, and could not be tolerated. I was afraid to go to school the next day because of the attacks and no kid should have to be afraid of going to school. I know that horrible day, five years ago, will live in every American’s hearts and minds for the rest of their lives.
I found your article touching and I thought that I would share my experience of 9/11

I just took out the intro and ending part of it for posting it on here. What did you guys think about how it was written? Those are my exact emotions during that time. It was horrible. I don't live in or near New York. I live in Ohio which is a little while away, but it was still a very scary experience. How did you guys feel when you heard about the attack? I guess that is my question of the day.

I'm sorry about not posting the quotes of the day friday... I thought I would have more time than I did... I will post them today, I promise. They should be up in a couple minutes.

Ummm... I know I have asked a lot of you guys, but I have two more requests. Could you guys visit Little Birdie's Site and Juz Cuz's Site? Please... They need some comforting and support. LB may not seem like it in her post, but trust me, she does and you can just tell by Juz Cuz's post that she really needs it... They are going through rough times right now. (I guess I am too, but I'm not worried about me right now) I would really appreciate it if you would do that for me. Thank you for helping!!!
