September 11, 2001 I was sitting in my Kindergarden grade class room without a care in the world. A menial Kindergarden assignment preoccupied me and the rest of my classmates. All that changed when Ms. Abrams, our guidance councilor, nervously walked over to talk to our teacher. This was the 1st sign that something was wrong, Ms. Abrams rarely visits the class room unless someone was in serious trouble. Shortly after Ms. Abrams' arrival a T.V. set was wheeled into the class room which all the kids quickly gathered around. When the T.V. was turned on we saw the horrifying events unfold over and over which drew gasps from our teachers. That is all I remember of what happened to me on that fateful day.
The attack on the World Trade Center was the spark that set off the fuse, it was the event that triggered a full scale War on Terror. Also ever since the attack airport security has been heightened in almost every country in hopes of preventing anymore attacks form happening. We have been at war in Iraq and Afghanistan for almost 10 years, and we have been trying to find terrorist leaders LIke Osama Bin Laden. Although he has eluded us, we have killed evil dictators like Saddam Hussein. The war is very controversial but it has effectively stopped terrorists from acting on USA soil.
