4 Remembering 9/11

Shivers went down my back as I heard and saw the news that morning. We were about to leave for school when my mom turned on the TV. I was experiencing every moment as it happened. All I can remember from that day were things like talking about what happened and our teacher made it into an assignment. I was tuned out thinking about families and people who had died or were going to die. It occupied my mind for a long time afterward.
Many photos came out to the public of the towers before that tragic day. I remember watching a video about how terrorists hoped they would change america by breaking us into pieces but my favorite thing about that video was that it showed normal houses and they the scene changed to those same houses with American flags on them. The video then said that they had changed America but they made us a tighter unit rather than breaking us down.
I believe that some of us may not want to remember and say we should forget. There are those who cannot. Lives were changed that are still being affected today. Families without fathers or mothers or without both. Parents who lost childern. Close relatives that will never be alive again, many for eternity. As much as it hurts to think about, it made us strong and it gave us a focus against terrorism. This may be something that we desagree on at times; however, our hold on terrorism may be something that no one else could do. I want people to remember that Satan has a hold of this world, but it is temporary and God will come again to prove that Satan's way was erronious.
