The Meaning of 9/11

September 11, 2001 instantly went down in history as one of the most horrifying and devastating days in the history of the United States of America.
When this awful day came about, I was just a young kid in the third grade still. So at the moment of this event I was unaware of the magnitude of what had happened. When I heard what happend I was of course schocked but not in a very big way. I wasn't aware of the whole story of terrorists and hijacking behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Im sure that if something every again happend like this that I would be much more heavily affected.
I am very fourtunate to say that no one that I knew personally was injured or killed by this attack. The meaining of these attacks put fear into the hearts of many Americans and things would just never be the same anymore. Airport security, false terrorist accusations, and most important fear.
So in all, although i was very young to comprehend what happened on that fatefull day, but nevertheless I am very aware of what it means for the future of our nation.
