total a-hole
Today, I typed up a long speach I was supposed to give to my school today. I destroyed it. I started anew, and this is what I came up with. I guess my mixed emotion of anger, sadness, and patriotism can be summed up in these few paragraphs.

9. 1. 1. Those are the numbers you call when you need help. September 11, 2001. America needed help that day.
When you can be terrified one moment, knowing the end was near, and turn that emotion into bravery to stop a terrible act... That's a beutiful thing. Those 40 Americans, I just can not express my gratitude.
Remember 93.
Seeing those two great towers collapse hurt me the most. Why couldn't I have done something? Why couldn't I've been there? My brother was there that day; he saw those people die. I was, too. That day, I started with 1 brother. Now, I have 41.
Remember 175.
Remember 11.
3 rings destroyed. I saw a man who was in the Pentagon when it happened; I saw his face. I never want to see that happen to another human being again. Ever.
Remember 77.
On the 11th of September, 19 men stole something from me. I can't have it back, and you can't earn it. It's something that is given to you; it's a gift.
11, 77, 93, 127. Remember 911. Remember.
