Its been 6 years since that dreadful day. Since that day the United States stood in shoke and terror of what they saw on their tv screens, or what they were witnessing in real life. Many of us were real young when the 4 planes crashed into different areas of the US. I know personally I was in the sixth grade, heading to school. I remember my teacher was late for work. When she came in, she brought a portalable tv in with her and set it up to the news station. She also got on her computer.
I had no clue what was going on that day. I just knew my teacher was unusally afraid. But I sat and I watched the news, and I figured out what was wrong.
6 years later, we are still in a war about it. We really just concern ourselves with the war, we don't really remember what it was started for. I know we all have our "conflicts" about the war, but today is the day that thousands of people lost their lives for. Innocent children, men, women alike, died on the planes, in the towers, in the pentagon. And they have really been forgotten by some folks.
So this thread is not a bash bush thread. It is not a "no more war" thread. This thread is meant only to remember. To remember what you were doing that day. To remember the loved ones that you worried for. To remember loved ones that have never come home. Simply to remember, so we don't forget.
So tell us what you remember.[/b]
In quote tags 'cause I copied that :P
I was in third grade when it happened. Didn't know anything about it until I got home that day. Actually, the principle said something about it on the afternoon announcements, but I had no clue what the WTC was. Then I got home, my mom was at work and my sister hadn't gotten out of school yet, and turned on the TV. (Nickelodeon :P ) My uncle calls and asks me about my mom and where she was at, so I tell him, then he tells me to put the news on. So I do and see the firefighters going through the rubble at the WTC. They show the second tower being hit, and the pentagon, etcetc.
