War is...

War is needed, protecting our rights.
War is sometimes devastating, killing millions.
War is serving your country, fighting for freedom.
War is protecting, defending your country.
War is spending, costing lots of money.
War is a challenge, conquering the enemy..
War is reminding, it reminds us of those who risked their lives for us.
War is sometimes demolishing, destroying peoples homes.
War is sometimes needed by helping, supporting our troops.
War is expanding, it leads to new technology.

Remembering 9/11

I was very little when the 9/11 attacks happened. I recall my dad taking me out of school and how he kept complaining about the the bad traffic. The attacks haven not impacted my life very much but I know it has impacted others greatly. As far as I know I had no family members but I'm sure it was difficult for the people who did have family in the world trade center.

The rebuilding of the World Trade Center honors the ones we lost on that tragic day. It is also a very big step in the road to recovery. These construction workers have also come up with a fascinating plan to construct the height of the building to be 1,776 feet, the year our country was founded.

All together, this is a great achievement for our country and great for everyone who was or was not impacted by September 11, 2001. I have much respect for the people who lost their lives, family, and loved ones on the horrific day.
