Fast forward twenty years later and I’m telling this story to my kids and those that weren’t even born yet.

      I remember I was in middle school and our class was walking back to class from somewhere and a janitor walked up and talked to a teacher saying a plane hit the World Trade Center. Teacher went to talk to him and quickly brought us back to class. I didn't know what the World Trade Center was and assumed a small two-seater plane hit a skyscrapper or something. Teacher then explained to us a jet plane hit the World Trade Center. I don't remember what she said but I remember the feeling of fear and confusion she had. We got sent to our next class, that teacher had a tv that could get local channels. We watched the live news coverage. It's then I realized the scale of what happened. We saw the second plane hit the tower. I remember hearing half the boys in class gasping in awww and saying 'woah' and 'cool' and 'awesome' seeing the explosion. We were seeing something that we'd only seen in movies and tv, none of us had any context to understand it wasn't a movie set, that we were watching hundreds of people die in the blink of an eye. I remember teachers walking in and out, barely paying attention to us glued to the tv. I remember I was mostly just silent the entire time, just watching. We saw the towers collapse. Again, no context to understand what we were witnessing. Just 10-11 year olds. When school ended my mom picked me up as always and I could tell she was panicked, I asked if she heard what happened, she did, she was on the phone with my dad getting a checklist of emergency supplies, getting gas for the car, planning for the worst. I can't remember if it was me or my sister, but one of us asked something about what was going on with all the emergency supplies and why everyone was rushing to gas stations and grocery stores. And I'll always remember what my mom said 'We're at war now'

      Tuesday morning, 2nd period gym class, eighth grade. It was a free day because the news finally came to us, filtered through the kids who happened to be watching the news RIGHT before school. I heard a plane hit the WTC from them while sitting in the stands, and I was a bit flabbergasted, imagining it to be a small plane. I had a computer class later, but we didn't learn anything. I scrolled the news sites. That's when I learned the extent of the attack.

I’m not an Obama fan, but I remember my mom started crying and I was playing video games in my room and she yelled for me and my brother to come here now and my dad was out skillet frying potatoes and he came in while mom turned up the tv. When Obama announced we got him my dad grinned and my mom cried.

That day was one of the only times I've ever seen everyone, no matter what gang they are from of what they have experienced in life, set aside their differences and focus on the the similarity of all being Americans. Aside from all the pain and terror of what happened that day, seeing this country be able to unite like that truly was the most heart warming thing I've ever seen. Yes we are in a tough place as a country right now, but I believe that unity is still inside all of us. God I hope we never have another 9/11 but that unity truly was beautiful.

I never felt so American than that day and so connected with other Americans. Our differences didn't matter anymore.

Of course I didn’t understand it all, beyond it being something REALLY SUPER BAD, but that trauma is what led me to digging into it all, at different levels by age,& then with the Twilight Zone of computers/internet in all homes!!! His assassination was 6 weeks after he announced there were Really bad people in our Government & Secret Societies working to destroy our Constitutional Republic,& he was going to expose them all. Fun Fact-The phrases “Conspiracy Theory”& “Conspiracy Theorists”, was coined by the FBI, & spread by the media, to shame & dismiss those who Didn’t buy the Lies told of That assassination,& of course amped up the usage with other assassinations, & Any Government garbage pulled that was/is leading to Communism. One only needs to ask Why documents are Still being withheld 6 decades later, under the excuse of it being a National Security Risk, IF we were told the Truth?!? Bush Sr was photographed in Dallas that day, yet he maintained his Lie of being the Only adult in the World, who had access to TV’s or radios, who Didn’t know Where he was that day, or What he was doing, like everyone knows from 9-11, through his departure to H£LL to reunite with his father. Bush Sr’s Father was The Financial Backer of Hitler, making Him just as responsible for the deaths of millions of Our Soldiers, other countries’ soldiers, innocent Men, Women,& children in war zones, as well as the Millions of Jews murdered. He was instrumental in our Government refusing Jewish refugees, while Also instrumental, along with The Swamp Monsters, in secretly bringing thousands of War Criminals & Josef Mengele Wannabes,that were to stand trial in Nuremberg & be executed, into our country with new identities, to continue their horrific experiments on US. Bush Sr, a supposed Nobody at the time, was placed as head of the CIA shortly after JFK’s assassination, who had our military protecting Poppy Fields overseas, that was then turned into drugs sold Here, to begin the Murdering of our family members, while bankrolling The CIA, so they Wouldn’t have to answer to Oversight Committees for funding. He was the first to publicly use the phrase of “The New World Order”, on national tv as POTUS,& he was Hussein Obama’s “Mentor”, with photographs of him and 5-7 year old Hussein at his ranch. Bush Sr Always carried hard candies in his pockets, for Hussein, & later carried on the Endearing Private Joke of always having the Same hard candies for when he would see Michael. Hussein’s Grandmother was a Treasonous Traitor Bush used,& he was instrumental in getting his mother married to a foreign rich POS who did Dirty Works for Bush,& adopted Hussein, later leaving him Hundreds of Billions of dollars that Hussein keeps in that country to avoid taxes & questions. It’s no wonder Why Hussein had his entire life scrubbed from the public. It also answers the question of Why the Bush before Hussein’s reign, publicly stated numerous times, that he would Not be critiquing or criticizing Hussein’s Presidency, as has been done from the beginning of Presidents-bc he grew up with Hussein,& Hussein was like a Brother.🤬🤢🤮. 🙏⚖️🙏

Never in my wildest dreams as an 11 year old sitting in 7th grade did I think I would experience so much fear on Sept 11th 2001 as I did. Seeing the country come together the way it did was something I had never experienced up to that point. Then almost ten years later to see us come together again over over Bin Laden's death, those are two of the most emotional times I will NEVER forget. To see what the world is going through now and to take this step back in time is heartbreaking, seeing the love, respect, and consideration we had for each other in those times to now. We must get back to working together now, or eventually the human race won't work out. This was a tear jerker, and it's not the first time I saw that video.

    It's a weird feeling to celebrate the death of a human, and not necessarily a welcome one either.
    But there was a sense of relief as a people that it might not happen again. That as long as that man was dead and gone, someone else wouldn't be able to fly into our tallest building and hurt us in the same manner.
