I remember!

I remember this day ten years ago.

We had just moved to the states in late august. It was a new school, new world, new language, new friends.
I was sitting in 7th grade I think it was an English class. They made an announcement on the intecome and adviced all teachers and students to watch the TV. Our teacher put it on and it was like an action movie, we saw the plane crash into the building, fires raging and people screaming. I was in chock, unaware of the actual damage, unaware of what actually was and had happened. I remember my mom picked us up from school, me and my brothers asked if a plane had crashed into a building and the answer was yes. There was little known at that time and it took a a few days before every piece of the puzzle was in place. For a few weeks we had a moment of silence dedicated to the people who were affected by the event. There were teachers leaving students staying home. The world, the country was in chock!
Now I sitt here, listening to " DO YOU REMEMBER" and I do remember. All the tribute songs really get to me. Its hard for people to understand the feelings of sadness unless they were as affected as every single american was on that day! Sadness brought us together. 

I am grateful for all the soldiers in this world! I thank you all for the brave things you do and the strength you have. I admire you and I hope to meet a man as amazing as a soldier man is. I want a brave, respectful man who knows how to listen and loves life and understands romance and what it entitles. 

If it wasnt for the chance of loosing someone you love, I would want to marry a soldier.
