Eleven years ago today a tragedy hit our country. We were knocked down, but we didn't stay down. We will never forget the events of that day. I will never forget. The emotions are still raw. This morning at school we had a moment of silence before the pledge. I got so emotional. I couldn't say the words of the pledge--I could only mouth them so no one would know that I wanted to cry. The evil that exists in our world today makes me so sad. But thinking of this beautiful, blessed country that I am privileged to live in makes me proud. God bless America!
