9/11 Vows of remembrance
The author in this article touched upon the hearts of the readers. It has been 10 years since the act of terrorism of 9/11, there were thousands of families remembering the tragic day in which their loved one's had died. The photograph included in the article shows a girl on the name engraved of her loved one that passed away. She is holding packet of tissues which represents she was crying and it breaks the reader's heart, knowing that day will never be forgotten. Beside her, she has an American flag, representing the strength from even the youngest out of all of us in this country. Some children will grow up without a mother or a father, or even without both. In the new World Trade Center, there were thousands of people mourning the deaths and knowing they couldn't do anything about what happened. There was no way to help their loved one's because it was unexpected. Many people would get close to the names engraved and made paper tracing of their names. Some felt a decade had not passed away, but as if it was just yesterday when special news reports came on the television screens through out the country. President Obama talked during Sunday night and said, "..But it is precisely the rigor of these debates, and out ability to resolve them in a way that honors our values and our democracy, that is a measure of our strength." Though terrorists had commited this unfortunate event, that doesn't mean we will live in sorrow and grief forever. We may remember our loved ones and had been sad, especially on that very day where four American airplanes had been flying around and even the people in those airplanes weren't able to do anything. They were going to die and the airplanes had crashed into the twin towers and the pentagon, killing more people as well. This had been a "perspective of tragic history" in which people marked this anniversary with religious rites and patriotic ceremonies, remembering those and the one's trying to help them. About 3o0 fire fighters had died in that incident, alongside with paramedics and police men. Many of us when this occured we were in first grade and we weren't aware of what was going on. Now that time has passed by, we understand the meaning of 9/11. Though we may not had lost someone in this day of chaos, we're all part of this country and it's upsetting to realize that 2,983 names were called out during the ceremony, and some loved one's are still out there, not knowing were there bodies or ashes are.
