For the first half of my life I knew nothing about 9/11, I wasn’t even born until 2007. Until one day my friend gave me some books from the series “I Survived”. It’s a series about kids who survived historical disasters. It’s under the category historical fiction, but when I read the book on September 11th, it seemed completely fictional! Like out of a sci-fi/end of the world movie. Terrorists crashing jets into buildings is insane. So I asked my dad about it and he verified this really happened. I was shocked that people would do such a thing!
Innocent men, women and children murdered. Let us not forget those who ran into the towers, the pentagon and the sacrifice of those on flight 93. The 343 firefighters,60 police officers and so many more who risked their lives for others.
Then I thought about even though this happened so many years ago, it still impacts the world we live in today. We have been at war against terrorism for almost 2 decades. So many Americans have given their lives to defend us.
19 years later we haven’t for gotten the sacrifice of those who gave their lives on September 11, 2001 and we never will.
