9/11

Today is the 8th aniversery of 9/11 and it's amazing to me that it was that long ago. I remember exactly what I was doing. I was riding to my best friend Ryan's house to walk to school with him. Then, in 5th grade and 10 years old, I listened to the radio broadcast and heard them talking about some building that had been hit by an airplane. I asked my mom why they were reading a story on the radio, and my sister told me it's not a story, it's real. I didn't really believe her until I saw it for myself at Ryan's house on TV. Ryan and I looked at each other and said, "We're going to be talking about this at school today." That morning was the only part of the day that day that I remember.

Today I walked past the flag post in front of the ASB and saw that the flag was at half mast. There was a military man and woman standing in front of the flag, protecting it. I'm sure glad to live in a country where our military are fighting for our freedom.
