We Will Never Forget
[September 11]
I have a few contests in mind, but it is such short notice that I will leave them for next year.
I encourage you all to post any memories of when you first heard the news, or any art or literature pertaining to that horrid event.
I do realize that not everyone here may be living in America, but terrorism is every where. It is important to never forget.

I still vividly recall the moment I heard about the falling of the towers. I was eating fruit loops, and my mom was watching the show Goodmorning America. Eventhough I was only in the fourth grade, the news interested me, so I watched as I ate. Then I saw the image of a plane flying into a building, and heard a few words, including "hijacking". I knew it was real, and serious- and I nearly choked on my fruit loops.
Most of the people in my class that day didn't fully understand what was going on, however, I did. I didn't know why, as we will never know the truth to that, no matter what people say. I knew it was terrorism, and what that was, and I knew that this meant war.
It is strange for me to think that when that happened, when the war started, I was a perfectly happy child. I had my best friend, and we had our entire lives planned out. Now, she lives on the other side of the country, I am no longer a child, and the war has not come to a conclusion. The war against terrorism will never end, as we all know, but would like to believe against; but the thought of how much I have changed during war time doesn't register in my mind.
I will never forget September 11, nor will I ever forget how much has changed since then.
