September 11th or 9/11

Whenever the date September 11th comes rolling around the first thing i think of is my dad's birthday. Yes. September 11th is my dads birthday. I remember being in Mrs. Keys class in the 2nd grade when we all found out about the tragedy that just happened. The whole day for me was focused around my dads birthday...not anymore. The only thing anyone could talk about for the next couple weeks was 9/11. I feel like my dads birthday got cut short that year, and it was just a shame it happened on his birthday. I agree with the article because the women writing the articles sons birthday just happens to be on September 11th as well. I did not have anyone affected physically by the tragedy of 9/11, so i do not feel the pain that people do whenever this dates comes around every year. I try to make September 11th really more of a happy day because not only is my dads birthday on September 11th, but so is one of my closest friends. I watched a document on 9/11 just yesterday and it is really sad to see the terrorists thinking that they are "helping" their country. It is the most twisted thing.

People are still scared to go on airplanes on 9/11 because they are scared of a reunion of some sort may happen. The security has gotten so much tighter since the happening of 9/11, and i think that is a good thing. It is always better to be safe than sorry. My overall opinion is basically the same as the articles, because i can really relate to her. September 11th is my dad and best friends birthday, and 9/11 is a horrific day that will always be remembered.
