Imagine walking on the footsteps of ones who lost their lives, the ones who
dreamed about marrying someone and having kids and so forth? Seeing the Pentagon Memorial tonight was just an experience that I never thought I would
be able to have. Seeing all of the monuments there with the peoples names on the
stone and to see their parents that were there with them. It literally breaks my
heart to even write about this. I know people took every little word our chaperones
said while they were reading the stories of others. Even though people are all in
different friends' groups, I realized were all feeling the same thing at that moment. I
sat with someone new tonight on the way home. Someone who I never thought that I would be friends with at all and I felt like it was just something that I will never
forget, ever. She’s a very emotional person when it comes to things like this. And
I was there with her and every tear that dropped from her big blue eyes. Just thinking about how the plane slammed right in the Pentagon kills everything inside me. On our way home everybody stepped on the bus with tears in their eyes, once we got on the bus we listened to a song called There are No Words by Kitty Donahue. We all sat in our seats and I could hear everyone sniffling. If you were there you would be sniffling with us feeling the same thing. When you are done reading this, please take a few minutes to think of what happened on
September 11, 2001. If not, look up some things about it. This is our country and while this may have happened, we got through it and have been able to move on with our lives. God bless the United States of America.
