9/11

As word spread that a plane crashed into the twin towers, confusion set in for me. News outlets first said it was a small sightseeing plane but as more coverage became available it became evident that these were large commercial aircraft intentionally flown into buildings. How could people hate us so much that they were willing to give up their own life and fly a plane into a building? No requests for money, no other demands, just pure hatred and a goal to kill thousands of innocent people. No training in the world could prepare us to deal with this tragedy, however it was on this day that Americans stepped up and did what was necessary to save lives, comfort each other, and protect us from future attacks on our homeland. I thank you all.
