9/11
14 years ago
General
Words cannot express how emotional i get every year. At the time I was only 10 and really dont remember what happened that day. All I can recall is understanding more and more about what happened every year that day passed. I think it was two years ago that it has started to take a big toll on me, I get deeply emotional and extremely pissed off. I wish I had the guts to do something about it like enlist.
Today I woke up for class (yes i have a math class on the weeknds -_-) and the first thing i did was turn on the tv to the memorial at ground zero. I sat there after I got dressed and just watched. It was soo well organized and the memorial itself is beautiful. The idea of turning the towers locations into two big fountains turned out to be a great idea. I would like to visit it before I die. I spent my day out airsofting like usual because thats how i spend my sundays. When i got home around 7pm i went back to watching docs on 9/11. At this moment now im watching 102 Minutes that Changed America. I highly recommend watching it. Its all home video shot by people on the ground and in there apartments. Basically all the videos are synced from when the first tower was hit to the second tower falling. But beware its very graphic. Graphic to the point where you see footage of people jumping and falling from the towers.
To rap things up I just want to say We will never forget those poor souls who were working in the towers and the brave ones who went in to save them. Over 3000 people died on 9/11 with only 5 being pulled out of the tower alive. Also want to say thank you to those who have fought and died fighting for our country. Good night.

Camo, don't forget those who died to prevent a second plane from hitting the pentagon, nor those in the plane that did hit the pentagon. My daughter had a bit of a fit today when she realized the attacks happened the year she was born. She was just under 7 months old, and until today, she didn't know WHEN 9/11 happened, other than on 9/11. Or she hadn't been paying attention in school. Her school is the SINGLE most patriotic school in the state, hosting a Veteran's Day program to make your eyes water, and a warm feeling regarding our troops to spread through your body. I'll try to get more of it on video this year to post a link to. And every Wednesday is Patriotic Day at the school and every Friday they ring the spirit bell in hopes that those who are MIA/POWs as well as those fighting overseas will come home safely.
