On this day six years ago, I was sitting in Mrs. Whitten’s classroom spending my day as any other normal day as a 6th grader at Grayson Elementary. In New York City, terrorist planes were striking the twin towers. Panic throughout our country was rising just as rapidly as the twin towers were falling. When Mrs. Pam came to bring us the news about America being invaded, I remember the feelings I had as if it was yesterday. I was terribly frightened and mournful for the loss of so many brave Americans. But mostly, I remember the most distinct feeling there was was how lost I felt. I was so confused..I felt like everything I had ever known was being torn away from me..my protection, my security, it was crumbling more and more with every second that went by.
Today, on the 6th year reunion of 9/11, as I remember how I felt on that day, my heart goes out to all of the Americans who lost loved ones..parents who lost children, children who lost parents, husbands who lost wives, sisters who lost brothers, whatever the situation might be. My heart goes out to every single family.
Everybody, take a moment to just thank God for sparing your life and your family. And say a prayer for every family that has lost someone close. I know it’s been six years, but I know it still hurts. There’s still heartache for the loss.
Another thing I’ll proudly say..is I love America. I’m so blessed to have been born in the Land of the Free. ❤
American Girls and American Guys
We’ll always stand up and salute
We’ll always recognize
When we see Old Glory Flying
There’s a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night
When we lay down our head
My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
Until the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free.
Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin’ in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the 4th of July
Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it’s gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin’ her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue
Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you’ll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
‘Cause we’ll put a boot in your ass
It’s the American way
Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it’s gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin’ her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue
Xanga 
I remember where I was when it happened…I was with Mrs. FOLDS! lol No I really was sitting in her class behind Keisha Hodges and watching it happen on Chanel One in complete terror. And for weeks after that anytime a plan would fly over our house, I’d get scared about where it was going and what it might be doing. It was a very scary time! It’s still scary! I really don’t want to read your post cause I know it’ll make me cry. I’ve been trying all day not to cry. I watched it on the news this morning again and it was real tough to not cry.
So yeah~u should comment my xanga sometime.
