In my life time I can remember only a very few times when I have seen my family cry. It was on that day of the tower attacks. I remember sitting there watching the new before school. My mom was crying and so was my grandpa. One of my mothers good friends was in one of the towers on the 84th floor. My mom knew she had lose a friend the second the plane had hit the tower. This year like every year my mom sits and listens to them read the names of all the fallen.
My best friend kylie can remember sitting in class and hearing the news over the intercom not really knowing what had happen. Now today she understands. This year she had a moment of silence for the fallen when she woke.
My grandpa sat in front of the TV all day on 9/11 watching the towers fall. He could not believe someone would actually do that. This year listened to the names while he was on his computer.
My friend Kate remembers being kept home that day from school and watching the towers hit. She was to young to understand but now today she does and has decided to serve our country as a way to remember the fallen.
My co-worker Amy remembers watching the towers hit and immediately feeling pain and anger. She could not believe what she had saw. Today she posted a couple things to her facebook wall saying never forget. Then went about her day taking care of her daughter.
The reason why all of this is important is because even though its been 12 years since the twin tower attacks it still effect everyone to do this day. People can still feel the pain, the anger, and the lost to this day. It was something that struck all Americans. Employers will always have to keep this day in mind because some people may act a little different on this day and their employees may feel the need to have the day off to honor the fallen. Its just a day I feel employers should be a little more leant with how things are run because of the way everyone will be feeling. It will be a day that no one will forget.
NEVER FORGET 9/11
