I am from New York, Long Island originally. I remember when I was little my dad took my brother and I to the WTC and we had so much fun. Looking down upon the city of New York, it blew me away. I was at school when it happen. No one told us what happened, in fact I didnt know anything happened until I got home. My mom's best friend's brother Michael Boyle was a firefighter and died. My cousin's uncle died in the towers. It was such a terrible tragedy that affected so many people from so many places. I wish, like so many others, that this never happened. But that isn't going to help. Nothing can. We just have to stand together and help each other and show the terrorists that they cant break America. It's called United We Stand.
