9/11

9/11. A big event. One that changed the modern day American world. When 9/11 happened, I was just one and a half years old, too small to understand the horrors of what was going on. My mom just sat in front of the television all day, waiting to see what exactly had happened, who had perished, and who had survived. This awful event still effects us today. For example, airport security is much more strict than it has ever been before. There are millions of checkpoints, and scanners, and detectors to go through. It is now necessary to go to the airport hours before one's flight leaves. Also, the lives lost in the horrible tragedy, from the victims that perished, to the rescue workers that were killed in action, have been, and continue to be, grieved for by their friends and family. But when horrible event like 9/11 happen, America always moves on, becomes stronger and better.
