Twin Lines

September 11, 2001 was a day that I will never forget.  I think about it more than just on it's anniversary and I feel such vivid memories of that day because of it's significant impact upon our beautiful country.  It was the only time that I remember everyone as one.  Everyone was an American, sad for our country. 

It was almost as if we were all joined for an entire day or two and that there was no barrier of discrimination.  Of course it didn't take long before the fingers began pointing in certain directions but as an 11yr old.  I felt a sense of peace that I will never forget.  Everyday we are fighting for peace, equality, laws, and other things of great importance but for those couple days the United States only had one thing on its' mind.

Like I said, I will never forget that day.  The line for tomorrow and today and every day in between is that when the twin towers fell, America rose.  We rose to the occasion of peace and equality.  America's ability to show and prove that, that is possible is my silver lining.
