17 years ago on a normal Tuesday in fall of 2001, something terrible happened.
A plane crashed into one of the two Twin Towers in New York City. After that, another plane crashed into the other Twin Tower. Around the same time, a missile crashed into the side of the Pentagon, though it did not do as much damage.
And another missile around the very same time was directly straight towards the White House—but the passengers stopped the terrorists hijacking the plane from purposely crashing into the White House. These people who helped the White House not get crashed into put others above themselves, and in course, they saved the day...at least for the White House. Meanwhile, the damage that the Twin Towers had caused was very bad, and many families were tore apart. People died and were lost. But luckily there were also people there who stood up and became everyday heroes. Some even sacrificed themselves for the greater good. These people include policemen, firefighters, medics, military soldiers, and even—believe it or not—regular citizens who decided to make a change and help people in a day of darkness.
The goal of the terrorists was to tear the country apart due to crashing into some of its most important locations. But instead, the 9/11 terrorist attacks just tightened the country together even more.
This is an ever darkening world.
But as any wise person would say...
Be a light in this dark world.
And it will get brighter.
