= = I was 7 years old when 9/11 struck the country. I was too stubborn and shocked to even start explaining how I thought about the attacks. Even though I have done a report on this for writing class this year, I’m still curious about this key event that led to today’s economic crisis. Not only has this put our economy in jeopardy, it has also caught all Americans off-guard, scared, not knowing what to do. Today, everyone is building themselves back up from 9/11 to the soaring gas prices and house market under major foreclosures. This is why you can feel this unique feeling and sense of American hope. 9/11 not only caused us to be stronger in our military, but also to be stronger in any type of catastrophe. (DH-OS)
 * Why is this important to U.S. History?**

I remember that morning and my mom being so sad and scared. I was wondering what everyone was freaking out about because it was 2 days after my seventh birthday and things were suppose to be going great. I guess I was too distracted by all my new toys to realize the horrible thing that was going on in our country. But I think that even though there was a lot of sad and traumatic things that went on that day there was still good things that God was able to bring out from it and for us to be able to learn from this experience.(BG-SOTH)

Like for example yes there was a lot of people that lost their lives that day but God used that to bring our country together as a nation. Since then we have been strong and our security system at the airport has gotten so good that we are prepared for anything outcome that could probably come up. And I thank God for giving our country a wake-up call and pray for the families that were affected in this experience. (BG-SOTH)

This is important to U.S. History because so many people were effected by it that it made it a very big deal for America. If 9/11 wouldn't have happened i think airport security would not be as good as it is today. in conclusion 9/11 was a very dramatic historical event and touched many people in the United States. (CrS-OS)

From the time the first airplane drove into the first tower of the World Trade Center at 8:36 AM, to the time the second airplane hit the [|second tower] about 20 mins later most Americans could tell the United States had changed big time.

Nine Eleven was very dramatic for America. I think 9/11 could have been prevented by improving airport security and not letting as many [|people] into our country. But if it wouldn't have happened we wouldn't have started being more protective over terrorist. After 9/11 i feel that we are a much stronger country.many people were affected by September 11th some people wrote [|poems] and stories about it.

I think that we will be better prepared next time a terrorist attacks us, because of how much September 11th has changed the United States. In conclusion 9/11 was a big event in American History (CrS-OS)

I think that 9/11 could have been prevented, but we had no knowledge at the time that terrorists were planning this attack our country.So yes we could have beefed up security and done a better job at preventing this from happening, but without it happening first we had no idea of what kind of things we are suppose to try to prevent from happening or any precautions we need to take ahead of time. We had no idea what the were planning but they knew what they were doing and they knew how to go about doing this without flaw or any chance of being detected until it was too late. So I think it was bound to happen, it may have been in a different way, but there was bound to be an attack sometime. (BG-SOTH)
