9/11 and how i remember it

9/11 was one the scariest days of my life. Everything happened so quickly i barley remember it. I was at school at the time it happened. My mom immediately left work and came to get me and my sister from school. On the way home my mother wouldn't tell me anything. Tears were running down her face and i was scared to death. Once we got home she turned the TV on channel 11 fox news. All i saw was burning towers and they were talking about planes getting hi-jacked. I remember thinking to myself, "So theres burning buildings? Whats so bad about that? It happens all the time." i didn't understand how important they were to the USA. I asked my mom why she brought me home and she told me that there has been a terrorist attack on the USA and Charleston, WV was one of the first places on a list to get bombed. Right them i got completely terrified. Now on every 9/11 i wear my old CAP uniform to represent the loved ones we lost, and the very special soldiers, police, and firefighters that were lost.
