Do you remember what you were doing on 9/11 when the 2 towers fell at the hands of terrorists and so many people perished? I remember - I was living in Las Vegas and I woke up to get ready for work, I felt very strange and I had this feeling that thousands of souls just screamed - it was very strange. Up to this point I never watched TV early in the morning. I told my girlfriend to turn on the TV and see what happening out there. The news was on and within a few minutes the second plane just hit the second tower - it was shocking. No one really new what was happening yet. Then we heard about the Pentagon getting hit. Our country was attacked, Americans were dead.
The brave people on the last plane realized that something was happening and they gave up their lives to keep that final plane from doing harm to others. They died for their country. Ordinary citizens, Brave Americans. So many afterwards trying to rescue people also gave up their lives to save other Americans. Their were bombs bursting in the air and their were Americans that were brave and our flag still stands. Our Star Spangled Banner - still holding true.
The event brought all Americans closer together - it united us. We all stood up and declared we were proud to be Americans and this event would not bring us down. We had a cause and we wantd to show the world we were strong and proud.
Fast forward to today - are we still proud are we still united? Do we remember what happened? Somehow we lost the momentum. We are not acting so united and we are not being so proud. So today I ask all Americans - Let''s remeber - let's stand up and be proud again, let's stand united and show the world we are Proud to be Americans again. Let's remember all those who died and gave up their lives because they were brave and proud to be Americans!
