Everyone in America was affected by one date, 4 terrorist attacks, and 19 terrorists.

It's clear to say that no one in America will ever be the same after being aware of such a tragedy that happened in our country.

It was an early morning, around 8-9 a.m. when so many peoples' lives started falling apart. Our country has gone through many great losses, many tragedies, and many heartbreaks but by far this was the most traumatic. At 8:45 a.m., the first plane went through one of the NYC World Trade Centers, the 2nd plane hitting roughly 20 minutes later.

Many thought and prayed there would be no more, but unfortunately, there was. The Pentagon was then targeted and hit in the west wing.

A fourth plane later crashed into a field in Pennsylvania, having been averted from its planned destination by the passengers who took heroic steps against the hijackers, sacrificing their own lives for the lives of others.

2,977 people in our country were killed that day.

As, of course, everyone knows the story of how America was forever changed, I thought it pertinent to give everyone a reminder of how many losses of life occurred that day.

This day brings reminders of loss and great emotion, does not come easy and truly never will. The lives of many people I know were affected in a much deeper connection than my own. My heart will always be touched by their stories, their pain, and their memories they will live with the rest of their lives.

9/11, a day we will never forget, and a day that changed America forever.
