| My initial response to the �Attack on America�: Total Disbelief. I cannot believe someone could do something so horrific to innocent people. This nation stands for freedom and justice and this is how we are treated? Our nation: a wonderful place that is envied by all who are not here. At first I could not believe my eyes. As we stood there watching thousands of people dying as the Twin Towers fell to the ground, I realized what our country means. People die everyday for freedom and society is just noticing. The thought of thousands dying: unbelievable. Then after the disbelief faded, the overwhelming sadness set in. The televisions are crowded with footage taped on 9-11 and people�s families that had lost someone. Women and children begging to find their husbands or daddies, Men searching for wives or sisters touches me in an appalling way. Sadness strikes everyone�s heart as we watch the aftermath of the attack. Everyone�s personalities have changed. I, for one, have realized that I really love my country and will do anything I can for it, but I also get mad, because I don�t want soldiers to go to war. Most families that have dads, moms, sons, and daughters in the military are most likely worried about each other. The �Attack on America� has changed many people�s view on life. The �Attack on America� could be called a senseless tragedy. It could not have been prevented or stopped, but not all is bad. All the people that died is terrible, but look at all the people that have come together to support our great country. I love my country, The United States Of America. |
