Never Forget 9/11


  This weekend marks the 10 year anniversary of 9/11. It was a day that lived in infamy. When our country was attacked by terrorists. Two airline passenger planes were forced by terrorists and crashed into the 2 twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York. Over an hour or so later both of them collasped and fell to the ground killing thousands. Another plane hijacked by terrorists crashed into the Pentagon in Washington D.C. Another flight, United Airlines Flight 93 was hijack but the passengers attempted to regain control of the flight before the terrorists could crash into Washington D.C and it was crashed somewhere in Pennsylvania. Over 3000 people total died in the attacks the majority of them in New York when the 2 twin towers fell.
  As, we look back I bet we all could remember where we where when we first heard or saw the coverage on TV. I was coming back from a tuesday morning study session with a tutor from a class when I heard the guys on my floor tell me that 2 planes crashed into the World Trade Center towers. It was very shocking watching everything unfold on television. Classes were cancelled and so were a couple of weekend sporting events. It makes you wonder what else has happened since then in the War on Terror and how our country pulled itself back.
   I think the best way to honor those who have died in the attacks and those military men and women who have served overseas on the War on Terror and still do all over the world. Tell a military member thanks for their service to our country because Freedom is not free. We should feel so blessed to live in a nation to have the privilages many other nations don't. And we can feel free to worship Jesus and God in this nation because many Christian who live in missions in certain parts of the world worship in dangerous parts that can be non-christian. Freedom of Religion is great in this country because you can't be able to worship who you want in other nations. Also Freedom of speech is great because in other nations you could be put in jail for saying wrong things about the government.
   We often poke fun at our government but the best thing is that dispite the econominc and job troubles in the country right now we have the freedom to vote for new officials who could try to restore or help.
   So, I say remember those who have died but celebrate by living the American Dream because that's what they would want us to do. I'm D-Money, that's my two cents and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
