I can’t believe that it has been seven years since the attacks of 9-11. So much has changed since then. We all have our stories of where we were, who we knew and how we felt. I was a junior in high school and I remember watching the second plane on live TV in my Honors History Class. We all watched in horror and wondered in fear why is this happening? Who is doing this? But again and most importantly Why! But we also watched a nation pick up the pieces and come together as one. Never had I seen so many American Flags or neighbors who were once arguing stand side by side. Reflecting back on the tragedy it’s events like these that remind us of who we are and what we stand for. I remember standing in class the next day quoting the pledge as we had everyday- but this time it meant something. Everyone stood and most were emotional, but at the same time it was beautiful. I challenge you to remember those feelings today, the same you felt seven years ago as we watched our nation be challenged to fall but resisted and instead became stronger in the face of adversity.
