Tonight, on the eve of the 13th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, two memorial beams of light will be projected and reach the sky by Ground Zero, right here in New York City. While I was only 6 years old on that infamous day, I remember most of it clearly. I remember leaving school and seeing the smoke reach my school, as well as the tears that ran down my principals face as she was notified of the plane hitting the first tower, she was notified of this while filling in for our teacher. Immediately she left the classroom, and we, as little kids, didnt understand what was going on. However, I also remember the unity that immediately followed that horrendous news. Parents working together to console us, protect us, and try to somewhat explain to us what just happened. On that day our freedom, democracy, values, and home were attacked. However the terrorists made one big mistake, they overlooked the fact that these are the UNITED States of America, and we stand by each other. Our unity, determination, and grit, helped us survive that attack and come back stronger than ever before. With the soon to be grand opening of the Freedom Tower, it is about time that ISIS, Al-Qaeda, The Taliban, and all the other terrorist organizations understand that we will not be beaten, we will not give in, and we will continue to prosper & thrive. May the 3,000 innocent angels lost on that day rest in peace, and may g-d bless America. Never forget 9-11-01. #ProudNewYorker #ProudAmerican
