9/11: 20 YEARS LATER

Twenty years ago on 9/11/01, our lives were 

Turned into a tragic horror story that none

Of us will ever forget...For that matter, the

Whole world won't forget.  The sheer horror stuns.

Our country was attacked by purely evil people

Because they hate us and the way that we

Live, among other things.  On what started as a beautiful

Fall morning, terrorists struck, causing major tragedy.

They worked in teams.  Hijacking 4 commercial flights

Full of passengers to use as weapons.  One they flew

Into the Pentagon.  Two of the planes each destroyed the

Twin Towers of The World Trade Center,spraying fiery jet fuel.

The 4th plane they say, was headed for Washington D.C.

However, the terrorists didn't take into account that we

Americans fight to protect our country.  All the passengers got

Together and overcame the hijackers.  Their bravery is our creed.

Though they all perished, the last plane never hit it's target.

It crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

The country came together to honor and to mourn.  Scientists

Today are still trying to match remains to DNA the size of minutiae

With all the quarrels and divisions we have now--can we put them

aside for just a bit?

And that as Americans we stand as one and pay honor and respect

To the memory of those who died, both victims and heroes, to protect it?
