12th Anniversary of 9/11

Many remembered and mourned yesterday, the 12th anniversary of the horrible attacks on September 11, 2001. I'm writing about it because it relates a little to my blog topic. So many innocent people lost their lives' that day and it effected the whole U.S. Even though I was only about 8 or 9, I still remember it to this day. My mother and father both work in D.C. and could have easily been one of the victims of the attack, thankfully none of my family was hurt.

Many people that served for our country lost their lives that day, firefighters, young children, and innocent Americans that didn't deserve to lose their life so soon.



"Americans marked the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks around the country with remembrances today. President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden attended a moment of silence at the White House and relatives of the victims visited the memorial sites at the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, Pa. The attacks, which claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people, were the deadliest terrorist strike on American soil." -- Lloyd Young

  1. Are your parents government contractors? Is that why you think they were at risk then? Also, when you put together works cited sections, give us more than the URL. Provide author names, titles of pages, etc. Follow MLA style for what to cover.
