What September 11th means to me

September 11th means a lot to me but it means much more to the people that went through it and lost loved ones during the attack. I was 5 years old sitting in my kindergarten classroom when the buildings were hit. I remember my mom taking me out of school early and I had no idea why. When I got home I saw a huge amount of smoke coming out of 2 buildings but I didn't think much of it because I though it was just a fire. Not until I got much older I realized the extent of the situation and it was not just a fire.
