This time 10 years ago no one would have ever imagined what was going to happen in less than 24 hours from now. Our lives would be forever changed by people with an extreme hatred for the U.S. Thousands of lives lost and millions of people affected by those planes being hijacked. Being in two wars since then was something no one would have ever thought about 10 years ago. It's amazing how a few people with a hate for the U.S. can do so much damage and affect so many lives. A lot has happened in those 10 years but never will we forget what happened on 9/11 nor forget those lives lost then and the lives that have been lost since then fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq to keep us safe.
I will never forget where I was when that first plane hit. I was in 5th grade and I went to a Catholic school at the time and we were over to church learning about all of the different Saints. As we were walking back over to school from church one of the teachers came out and told our teacher what had happened. We went inside and our teacher turned on the tv, we saw the first tower burning. Not even 2 minutes after the tv was turned on, the second plane hit. I'll never forget those images or forget seeing those people jump out of the buildings. So much devastation in so little time. I was only 11 but I still understood that there were horrible people out there that hated America, what I couldn't understand was why they would want to kill thousands of innocent lives. To this day I still don't understand it and I doubt I ever will. 9/11 will forever be a day that we will never forget.
