That song from Allen Jackson has been playing for the past 2 weeks on our local Phoenix country station. It really has made me think lately about 9/11 and the impact it has had on our lives!
I remember like it was yesterday where I was when the world stopped turning!
I was 14 years old and started my second week of school as a Freshman.
I had gotten up pretty early to get ready for Early Morning Seminary which started around 6:45 I believe.
I had just finished getting ready and turned on the TV as I ate my morning cereal.
I turned to channel 4 which was ABC in Spokane,WA.
I turned the TV on right when the second plane hit the tower. At first I thought I was watching a preview for a new movie that was coming out but after a couple seconds I realized it wasn't fake and that our nation had just come under attack.
I was in complete SHOCK and ran to my parents room to wake my mom up to tell her what was happening. I turned on the TV in her room and watched in horror at the site I was seeing on the TV.
To be honest I had no idea what the World Trade Centers were, I didn't know what terrorism really was, I didn't understand the severity of what just happened.
At school later that morning we were able to watch a few more minutes of the new coverage but our teachers at Greenacres Junior High made us turn it off.
I will never forget the feelings of that day.
I can't believe its been 10 years.
I am PROUD to be an American.
I support our Military, Police officers, Fireman and all people who work for this amazing nation!
I WILL NEVER FORGET!
May we never forget the Heroes who went down in the Pennsylvania field and saved so many lives! I am so proud to be an American knowing that there are people like those men who took over the plane from the hijacker that day in Pennsylvania! and those who died at the Pentagon. May we never forget!
