TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story Toward A More Perfect Union: Lessons Learned or Not: Since 9/11 My heart racing, my foot tapping as I watched nervously the twin towers colliding with the cause of a single aircraft on each building. I felt as if I were in a dream, a dream being watched, but I wasnt dreaming. As I saw the smoke, the lights, people scared and running with his certain look on their face, I knew this was going to be a day never forgotten. September 11, 2001, who wouldve thought that would be a day to take a big part of NY and never be forgotten. The twin towers played a big part of NY and now that part is missing. Many peoples lives were taken and changed forever. This past summer when I visited NY and passed ground zero, I was deeply saddened as to what I saw. There was once two tall buildings and now are gone with nothing but construction and flowers by the gate left by families who lost a loved one. As much as this was a tragedy, this also played a big part of unity. We not only learned to unite and work together as a nation, but to be proud to live in the United States of America. September 11 has brought a big impact on the way people now act and feel. There is a lot more respect, kindness, and generosity towards one another. We also learned the U.S. government should have taken terrorist threats more seriously. We do know now that any little threat we should take seriously and be prepared for anything about to come. September 11, is a day we shall never forget. A day that not only brought the nation together, but more aware of whats about to come our way. One nation under God, we shall stay strong and united.
