Where were you when the world stopped turning, that September day?
9.11.2001
I was in 3rd grade— Mrs. Behymer’s classroom. In the moment I knew something bad was happening but I did not realize the magnitude of the situation until coming home….
I remember my mom cooking in the kitchen and seeing tears roll down her face as footage played of the planes crashing and later the names and images of victims and those who were missing.
I remember the uneasiness and fear of the next 24 hours, week, month and year that followed.
I remember waiting to hear to the President address the nation on TV.
I remember hearing the words terrorist & attack… over and over again… continuously questioning why someone would want to hurt innocent people?
I remember a nation that came together during tragedy.
I remember the pride that came with being an American.
I remember the heroes.
I remember a time in history before and after 9.11.2001
WE WILL NEVER FORGET ❤️🇺🇸💙
