September 11 attacks

9-11-11 is the tenth anniversary of 9-11-01. So many years have gone by and its still so sad and a horrible event from our nations history. All of the programs on television were so touching and sad at the same time. It made you really think about terrorists and the damage they can do to places. My reaction to Inside 9-11 was shocked and sad.

I saw many different memorial services on T.V Sunday September 11. Again my reaction was sad. I don’t think that it should be memorialized in a big way every year.My reaction to the program Inside 9-11 was very sad and shocked. I have never seen those images and videos before.

Seeing the planes actually hitting the buildings was horrifying. Also to watch the people of New York running in every direction, watching, crying, and seeing the buildings crumble to the ground. All of the kids who knew their mothers or fathers were working in the building. Watching from the terrorist point of view was very scary. To know what they were thinking and listening to them talk over the intercoms of the planes.

That program made me scared, sad, and shocked.I saw many different memorial services on T.V on Sunday. Some of my favorites were the ones that had kids because kids always make you sad. On Sunday night I watched CBS and saw footage from the firefighters’ point-of-view. It makes me feel happy and safe knowing there are brave people that are out there to help us in horrible situations like 9-11.

Of the 343 firemen that died, a lot of them had kids. It was so sad to see them all in a line holding pictures of their lost loved ones. Also in New York Sunday night they had big lights shinning up to show were the Twin Towers once stood. Another memorial service was at the football games on Sunday.

At the Vikings game an eagle flew through the stadium. At the Jets game Lady Antebellum sang the National Anthem. The last memorial service I saw was in a commercial of a group of elementary aged kids in a choir class walked to the Fire Department singing the song Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. That was very touching and happy. Also on the radio station K102 they were playing a lot of patriotic songs.

The repeatedly played the song about 9-11 by Alan Jackson.I think that 9-11 should be greatly memorialized on the big anniversaries. I think showing all those films and clips on T.V would be too much to handle every year. Especially for those suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, they don’t want to see the worst day of their lives in big proportions every year. Don’t get me wrong, they should remember it every year.

Just not in big ways like they can on the big anniversaries. At my cabin we have a picture on the wall telling us to remember 9-11. It’s an eagle crying with the towers in smoke behind it and it says “We will never forget.” That picture reminding me of it every time I walk to the bathroom makes it seem kind of sad to do big memorials every year.So the program Inside 9-11 made me sad, scared, and shocked.

I saw many touching and sad things on the T.V the memorialized 9-11. Lastly I don’t think that 9-11 should be memorialized in as big of proportions every year, but we still need to do small ones to honor the men and women who lost their lives. I just wish 9-11 never happened so I wouldn’t have to be sad or scared about it or have to write an essay remembering the most horrific thing we will probably see in our lifetime.
