Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was Sept. 11, 2001 about 9:15 AM. I getting ready to enter my gifted class with all my friends. They had the TV on CNN and they had two big buildings and one of them was on fire. I regret admitting this, but when I saw it at first, all I thought was oh gosh, not this dumb stuff again, when will these idiotic people stop trying to scare us with their stupid ideas. Then another plane hit the next building. Oh my, I began to really feel scared. I had NO complete idea what was to happen next. Then, the first tower began to fall. I covered my lips with my hands as I saw dust fly and people running and screaming. I was really afraid for my life at that moment. I didn't know what was going to happen to me or my family. Later on we had to go to our next class downtown from Pensacola. We watched as headlines kept repeating, WTC hit by hijacked planes and Pentagon hit as well. I was very shocked, afraid, amazed, everything. I was very, very confused. I didn't actually know what to think. We watched Cnn, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, gosh, all those channels. The only thing my mom remembers me saying when I came home was, "When is my daddy leaving?" My dad is in the Naval Reserves, they call them the Seabees. He had to leave a few weeks later to go to his reserve base for 2 weeks. My father left active duty when I was 8, I'm now 13. He had not been with my family for a while so that's why he left and became a seabee. I know that if my father had been in active duty, I might not have never seen my father again. I just want to let anyone out there who is reading this and they are in the military or has a family member fighting the war that I love you so much. I don't know you or whoever you know who is in the war but I thank God everyday that those men are alive. They are taking the place of my father and they are risking to die for me and my father and everyone in the world. Thank you soo much. GOD BLESS AMERICA! Remember September 11 forever.
