What do I remember about September 11th, 2001?

The morning was just as any other--quiet conversations carried on while we were working on homework given by Mrs. Martin. A T.V. was rolled into the room, and I didn't really know what was going. Minutes before, Mrs. Martin told us that some buildings had been hit by an airplane, and being somewhat ignorant and not knowing what the twin towers were, the facts didn't click. Then, later on, we learned of the other coincidence of another plane going down, with speculations it was en route to another major building. Then, the suspicions formed and it was deemed a terrorist attack. The image that swept across the air was for sure--extreme damage can be done...things we never would have thought to be used for weapons (airplanes)were aimed like massive torpedoes, hurling for the American government. People were scared, unsure of what might be next. Would we have a war defending ourselves on our home turf? Mothers were worried...will my son have to go to war? I thought we were past this...
