Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My memories of September 11 begin early in the day. I had to be early to school because I had an inauguration to go. The new president of Hardin-Simmons was being sworn into office. The whole celebration started at 9:00 a.m. I remember all of the faculty wearing their robes. This was a big day for Hardin-Simmons. Dr. Scherr wrote a composition for the event and it was being played for the first time. It's really a wierd feeling when I think about this because the piece that Dr. Scherr composed was a majestic piece with trumpet calls and fanfares, and it was kind of trying to play it because, a couple of minutes ago we had heard the news. I remember rushing home after the inauguration and turning on the television so I could see what was going on. As I was just trying to comprehend what was going on I started to feel very upset and angry. Those were my initial reactions to the incident. I was so mad. I wanted somebody to pay for this, and when the terrorist were linked to Bin Laden, my first thought was war. "Just who do these bastards think they are?" We didn't do anything to them or their country. By this time it was time for me to go work. The people at work didn't feel much different than me about the whole thing. Actually, alot of my co-workers dealt with thier emotions by resorting to racism and prejudice remarks. It was such a strange day. It's all graved into memory. The morning, afternoon, and evening. I will never forget it. As the days passed on I started to get infromed about what was going on and why. I have to say this process helped me deal with the situation. As I became more educated about the subject, I started to understand. I still feel that the people responsible should definately pay for what they did. There is no reason why they should get away with what they did. I'm sure that they will ultimately pay in the end since they still have to answer to a higher authority, but like I said, my feelings about the incident are very strong right now, and I feel that our country is not being taken seriously on some other parts of the world. Who would be the first ones to call whenever someone in the world was in trouble? The United States of course, and chances are the U.S. would help out. As I dwell on the subject I only get more frustrated with the whole situation. I will finish this letter while I am still ahead of myself, because I don't want to say something offensive.
