Ten years ago, on September 11th, 2001, our community experienced one of the darkest days in American history. Terrorists hijacked four planes and used them to attack our nation. One plane hit the Pentagon, two hit the World Trade Centers, and the last crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Not only did those planes take down the twin towers, but they shook the rest of the nation as well. Our community suffered especially. All of us have friends and family who live or work in New York City. Also, most of us know someone who was lost on September 11th. This day will never be forgotten, and even ten years later we remember 9/11 as if it had happened yesterday.
On September 11th, 2011, the tenth anniversary of 9/11, our school honored the event that occurred ten years earlier. 9/11 became a point of focus in English and history classes. Also, we gathered on the 9th grade lawn to have a moment of silence for those lost on September 11th. Ten years later we still remember the tragedy that the September of 2001 bore. Although it was awful, 9/11 is a day that will be remembered forever, and will be a constant reminder of what the United States is fighting to stop.
