One year, two months, and ten days ago, the United States was attacked. September 11, 2001, a day that seemed exactly like any other, would shortly become a huge factor in reshaping the modern world. International relations were stressed, alliances forged and most importantly beliefs and views were drastically altered forever. On this tragic day in history, around three thousand were killed as two American icons of business and finance fell.
America was targeted for attack because we are the strongest. The terrorists searched to find our weaknesses and they succeeded. Killing thousands of people does make us as individuals weaker, but our spirit as Americans is strengthened. The attack came with no forewarning. The looks on the faces of people all around the United States on that tragic day were tear filled. The thought of children's lives being shattered and destroyed makes you ask yourself, what kind of animals would commit such a horrible deed? Innocent lives were taken from us. The friends and families of the victims grieved, and even those who didn't have relations put in their effort to support the families of the innocent victims. We were all in this together. The terrorists tried to watch us tear apart in chaos, but as someone once said, "United we stand, United we fall.". We did not let the terrorists take away everything especially our pride for our country. America was reborn, and the spirit of the American citizens grew, as we all came together as one.
The President of the United Stated of America made a series of announcements during this tragic time. He tried to inform the United States citizens of what had happened. "Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices. Secretaries, business men and women, military and federal workers.
