Remembering 9/11

Today is September 11, the day the United States of America was under foreign attack, commanded by Osama Bin Landen. 18 years ago, many patriots and citizens of America lost their lives in the horrible tragedy. Mr. Rease asked us “What does the word “American” mean to you?” It really made me put things into perspective because being an American citizen, I have rights that people in other countries aren’t privileged too. I have the freedom of speech and the right to vote because I’m an American. I have many opportunities in this country, I guess that’s why they call in “The Land of Opportunities”.
