9/11/08

Today I woke up, acted like it was any other day. I was a little tired, and slowly got in the shower and ate a quick breakfast before walking to class. Once I sat down in class a classmate told me what the date was. I had no idea, today 7 years ago, we were attacked by terrorists, who flew planes into the trade center, the pentagon and on crashed in Virginia, on it's way to the white house. Today, Americans are reminded about how our freedom is challenged by many around the world. Today, we must be pride to the Americans who died, the Americans who are now serving in Iraq, and other countries in the middle East. Today we must be proud to be Americans together as one. I am happy to be an American today.
