THIS DAY CHANGED AMERICA FOREVER. THE ATTACK WAS SO RUTHLESS. A LOT OF PEOPLE FROWN, AS THEY PUT LOVE ONES IN THE GROUND. AMERICA HEARTS AND SOULS STILL HURT. WE PAY OUR RESPECT TO THOSE WHO GAVE AND LOST THEIR LIFE ON 9/11. THIS DAY LEFT SO MUCH TRAGEDY.SO MANY TRAPPED IN THE BUILDING, NO WHERE TO GO. AMERICA HAS SO MUCH FEAR. AMERICA HAS CRIED SO MANY TEARS. WE ASK OURSELF IS SOMETHING ELSE NEAR. AMERICA PONDERS ABOUT GETTING ON PLANES. AMERICA WONDERS ARE THEY ON OPEN LANES. THEY ATTACK IN THE AIR AND WE KNOW IT'S NOT FAIR. THEY ATTACK ON THE GROUND AS IF THEY WERE BLOOD HOUNDS. WE ASK OURSELF WHY US? WHY THIS COUNTRY? THE GREATEST PLACE ON EARTH. AMERICA WILL ALWAYS BE HAUNTED BY THIS DAY. THE PAIN WILL NEVER GO AWAY. AMERICA IS SCARED FOR LIFE. MAY WE NEVER FORGET ALL WHO GAVE THEY LIFE FOR US AS WELL AS THEIR FAMILIES. WE SALUTE THAT FLAG AS A SYMBOL OF RESPECT, DIGNITY, PRIDE AND HONOR. WHY DO YOU SALUTE THE FLAG? GOD BLESS AMERICA.
