...America changed forever. It seems like yesterday when I was sitting in my 7th grade math class and the principal came over the intercom saying that the WTC had been hit by an aircraft and to turn the TV to CNN right away. All day me and my classmates watched in total shock, just in an overwhelming state of emotions.

I'll never forget watching the first tower collapse in my 3rd pd gym class that year. I can still feel the horror of knowing thousands of Americans died in that collapse...it just got worse when the second tower collapsed. And now, being able to watch documentaries with pictures and sound of falling, crushing bodies and helpless screams, it brings back that horror.

Even today when I say the pledge the voices sound not like the voices of the people around me, they sound like the voices of those men and women, hero or civilian, that perished that normal, NYC day truned into a living hell.

I do have a 9-11 pic drawn up, my scanner works now, but I lost my jump drive...again...
