CNN News-Friday, September 9th

      September 11th, 2001, a tragic event occurred where hijacked planes crashed into the Twin Towers as well as The Pentagon and attempted the White House as well. This huge event changed every single Americans life! Our country was never the same because the United States government and people began to lock down to secure our nation as a whole to keep from something like this happening again. I remember the feeling I got when my teacher turned on the TV and I saw with my own two eyes the damage that had been done not only to the buildings, but to our country as a whole. That feeling was one of the worst feelings for not only me, but for us all! I wish that there was something I could have done to prevent it, but as for the government itself, it should have been more aware of our surroundings and what the surrounding countries were up to. Also, we shouldn't have let something as big as the September 11th event help us make our nations decisions, we should be pro-active and do things like secure our country especially airports before things happen! We are America and because we are free, often times people as we were shown by this incident try to take that from us constantly.
