  1. On 9/11/01 i remember being in the 2nd grade and the school had the news on. Everyone was scared because teachers were crying and i remember hearing people saying were under attack and all this other stuff. I also remember the whole school had to go out front and we all had to sing the national anthem while they lowered the flag.

  10. I was in Mrs. Yoders 2nd grade classe. Everyone was crying and i was confused. What was going on, i could not comprehend, i run to the back of the room and as my bestfriend Richard why everyone was crying and he said, we were bombed. I later found out that some of our planes were highjacked and flown into some very inportant buildings. Such as the world trade centers, and the pentagon. Flight 93, the plane headed for the white house was forced to go down when the citizens almost took it over from the terrorists.

  18. I was in second grade when this all happened in Virginia Beach tell you the truth I didn’t even know what happened until I got home but however I do remember that I saw fighter jets going over my school. My dad was in the navy at the time and he was scheduled to come home a week after that date until the first plane hit then he had to stay out three months longer until they could get another ship deployed and go out there.
