Dear Engine 7, Ladder 1,
Hello I am 12 years old and in the 7th grade
at Edmeston
Central School. When I was younger I use to live in the city. I
probably saw the twin Towers but didn't know what they were. My dad also helped
build one of the Towers. He thinks it was Tower 1.
September 11th was just like any other day. I
got up and went to school no one knew this was coming. By the time we were in
our Social studies class the two Towers were hit. When I was watching the news
I was really scared since half of my family live in New York City. That day I went home and we all were very upset and
scared.
After the documentary 9/11 came out we
watched it in class. It was really hard not to cry in class. For all the
firefighters who saved people and risked their lives, we thank you. To all of
us you are heroes.
Thank you for everything,
