What September 11th Means to Me...

When September 11th occurred I was only three years old. I was at my great aunts house because my mom had to work. I don't really remember that day because I was so young. Even though that day did not directly effect me, I know a lot of people who it did. Since then, there have been a lot of changes in our county when it comes to security, especially in airports. In the United States, people have to take off there shoes, walk through a scanner, and have their bags scanned. When I was in the airport in Germany, all they did was scan my bags and scan me with a wand. It was really weird to me because I am so used to having to go through a long process. It showed me how cautionary we are here and how 911 not only effected people but the way security is taken so seriously. It is a day that will never be forgotten because of its lasting effect on our country.
