User blog:LunaDiviner7/In Memory of 11 September 2001

As you guys know, today is September 11. For those of you who don't know, back in 2001, this was when four planes were hijacked by terrorists and crashed in three different places. Two crashed in the World Trade Center (the Twin Towers), one crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and one, which was meant to hit the White House, crashed in a forest in Pennsylvania after the passengers managed to take control.

While this is a tragic day for Americans, it is also a day to show how patriotic we are. The terrorist hijackings were horrifying, but they made us stronger in the end.

I don't really remember that day, but as far as I know, I lived on an Air Force base down in Boloxi, Mississippi, and I was in preschool. When my mother heard about the attacks, she took me out of school and drove to the hospital, as she had to drop off some clothes for my father and pick up some medicine for my brother, as he had an ear infection. We didn't get out of the hospital quick enough and ended up being stuck inside of it due to the lockdown. We were stuck there for I don't know how long, and I'm pretty sure that my brother was screaming his head off (he was only 1).

Feel free to add your own thoughts or experiences in the comments, even if you aren't American.  Teen Titans  Robin   Raven   Cyborg   Starfire   Beast Boy   Terra 22:23, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

(Also, one of my friend's birthday is today. She just turned 14. You can wish her a happy birthday if you'd like, even though she's not going to see this...)
