Living in a War ~not done~

We still remember

by: D-wadeCrazy

On September 11,2001

The sorrow and tragedy had all begun.

Children crying, women screaming,

In your stomach you realize there's an empty feeling.

Visions of loved ones fly through your head,

as you pray to God that their not dead.

The towers came down, as everyone knows.

You're completely scared from your head to your toes,

Your hearts a flame with a burning anger,

as you hear someone sing proudly the Star Spangled Banner. Everyone now is showing their pride. We finally realized it's not something to hide.

We see the Red, White, and Blue wherever we go,

and that's just to let everyone know,

that three years past WE STILL REMEMBER,

what they did that sad day in September.

Wars are always something people pray will never happen, but it does. Over the years you either heard or learned of wars. I’m going to tell you of the war I was in, nine- eleven.

September 11,2001 was going good for me. I had been promoted to a first class lieutenant. I had a feeling something bad was going to happen, but I didn’t trust it. It was the best day I had in years, nothing bad was going to happen. Boy was I wrong.

Around 10 AM, I was in my office when my Commander Davis, my cousin and best friend, came in telling me to turn my TV on to CNN. That’s when I seen the first tower of the Twin Towers fall. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Within seconds the second fell.

That afternoon I got a call from my uncle saying my cousin Brent was in the second tower when it fell. I knew what was coming next, and I was correct. I had to think of how long it had been since I had quit there, almost four years. And Brent wanted to so bad. And stupid me had talked him out of it. I hated myself for that too.

Weeks after we found out what really happened, terrorism. Osama Bin Laden sent terrorist to pilot four plains. Two in the Twin Towers, one in the Pentagon, and one in the White House. All hit there targets except the White House.

Weeks past by which turned into a few months. We tried to make peace, but nothing worked. Soon we sent troops over there, which made it worse and started the war. So we kept sending troops over. About a month later they sent my friend coronal Angel McKris, Mac, over. With in five months of being over there she was captured.
