Six Years Later...

Description

...I would have done something like this last year, but I came to deviantART less than a week after the 5th anniversary.

You know the old saying: "Were were you when Pearl Harbor happened?" These days, people now ask: "Were were you when 9/11 happened?"

And you know what? I still remember where I was when I first heard of the attacks on our nation:

Mr. Garcia's Technology Class, First Period, Miami Springs Middle School.

This is undoubtedly THE one day in modern history that changed not just America, but the entire world, forever. Four planes were hijacked, one by one, and crashed into some of the largest and most important buildings on American soil, resulting the deaths of nearly 3,000 people in New York City, Washington D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

On September 11th, 2001, the World Trade Center towers fell, the Pentagon burned, and 37 passengers on Flight 93 rallied together and became the first soldiers in the War on Terror, giving up their lives to keep their terrorists pilots from fulfilling their suicidal objective.

Average, everyday Americans, in the face of these horrific chain of events, saw both the best and the worst in humanity, this nation and it’s allies around the world united also against this new, more formidable foe, the President saw a massive rise in his approval rating amongst his people and swore to bring those responsible to justice…

…all because of what happened on that tragic day…

Yet, here we are, now SIX YEARS AFTER 9/11, and what has this dubious War on Terror and the Bush Administration have done to show for it?

1.) A festering, war-torn quagmire that used to be Iraq…

2.) Al-Qaeda, and the true enemies of the US remain at large to continue to plot and carry out plans to kill many more innocent people around the world...

3.) And lets not forget the many more new enemies we have made with our botched up foreign policy.

What happened on that day was like nothing ever seen before in our time, a terrible loss of life, a collective realization of the vulnerabilities in all of our security measures…and the federal government and the liberal media deliberately and blatantly lied to us.

Indeed that this day changed the world forever…but most of it for the benefit of the feds and the Bush Administration.

We've been forced to enter a war on false intelligence, have lost thousands of more American lives, caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in the Middle-East, and we've seen our civil liberties repealed by the Patriot Act.

Learn the truth behind that day, cast aside all the lies and deceit they have brought upon us.

I can't believe this year will be the tenth anniversary. I was only in pre-school, but I just remember everything so clearly...
I was watching TV, finishing a bowl of Cocoa Krispies before school. Suddenly the channel switched to live footage of the attacks and I got scared. My mom came in and started crying, so I gave her a hug.
Afterwards, she took my 1 year old brother and I to the park. We didn't play, we just sat and fed the birds.
We got home right before my dad did. We called up all my family in Hawaii, Minnesota, and even Japan and just told them that we loved them.
I was suppose to go to Japan to visit them on exactly 10/11/01. Every night I count my blessings that we were safe. Every night I pray for those who died.
I can't watch any of the documentaries or movies without crying for 3 hours after.
