My family celebrates September 11 like it’s any other day, even though it's actually not. In fact, some people celebrate in totally different ways. Aimee Lee the author of “A Day to Dance or Weep?” wrote about Holly Hotchner who states what she does to celebrate September 11 (Lee 2). Holly Hotchner bought a big tin of caviar and a quantity of vodka. “And that is a tradition I've continued” she said. “Although the tin has gotten smaller I spent too much that year.” This is one example of a different type of celebration people do to celebrate September 11. In addition, I interviewed my sister since she is born on September 11. I asked her the following question, “How do you think you will celebrate your birthday in the future?” She answered by the following, “ I will celebrate it with colors red, white, and blue; I will stay home because that’s a day when people are sad about what happened.” Aimee Lee the author of “A Day to Dance or Weep?” wrote an article about Catherine Karp. Some people born on September 11 decide to celebrate their birthday on a different day since that day is so tragic (Lee 4). For example, Catherine Karp doesn't think it feels right to celebrate on her actual birthday, which is September 11. Catherine Karp considered celebrating her birthday on September 10 or 12. “But that doesn't seem right,” she said. Even if I was born on that day, I would still want to celebrate it on …show more content…
In fact Osama Bin Laden had been behind more attack attempts than just the attacks of September 11. In the article “September 11 Attacks” on the Britannica School website, it talked about Osama Bin Laden and his attack attempts. He also thought that the United States was weak. McDonnell Janet A., the author of “Responding to the September 11 Terrorist Attacks”, had wrote an article about Osama Bin Laden. Osama Bin Laden himself did not emerge as a signal threat until the late 1990s. (McDonnell 2) Bin Laden had a group of people helping him with his September 11 attack. In fact, he even had a code to let his other people know when the attack would occur. (Britannica School 3) In the morning of August 29, 2001, one of Bin Laden's people called other people from their clan and had him figure out a riddle. The riddle they had to solve was, “Two sticks, a dash and a cake with a stick down - what is it?” After figuring out the riddle they found out that the attacks would occur in two weeks- the two sticks being the number 11 and the cake with a stick down a 9. Putting the riddle together, it meant that the attacks would occur September
Official reports states, that many top US government officials were warned by other countries, top governments long before while before the 911 attacks. Between June and August 2001, German intelligence warned the (CIA) that Middle Eastern terrorists were training for hijackings targeting American interests. Russian President Vladimir Putin alerted US officials, “there were suicide pilots training for attacks on US targets”, (Shovelan, 2004-06-23). On August 6th 2001 President Bush was said to receive an intelligent briefing warning him, that Osama Bin Laden might be planning to hijack American airlines. That briefing was titled “Bin Laden determined to strike in the US”. In this briefing the (WTC), was specifically mentioned. Mr. Bush later claimed in a statement that the briefing ...
Osama bin Laden was an adversary of the West for years and it was known to the whole world. Unfortunately, he took it a little further by having two planes fly into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and another plane possibly for the White House. As we all know, this is the unforgettable day of September 11, 2001. Thousands of Americans were innocently murdered that day and in our own country by a terrorist organization. The United States of America would not stand for this and rapidly sought out Osama Bin Laden for what he had done to us. This is the day that caused the United States to accelerate the search and destruction efforts of bin Laden. Soon after September 11th, the United States was very involved in Afghanistan in trying to find him.

It was the worst terrorist attack in American history and it showed us that we are not protected by Atlantic and Pacific. It showed us that we could be attacked by anyone at anytime. It showed us that if we will be attacked again that we can only depend on each other and not on other nations to help us. The 9/11 changed people forever, some lost family members or friends, others lost their jobs even so called “American Dream.”

On September 11, 2001, Osama Bin Ladin executed the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. The attack killed over 2,900 people, and since then America has changed in many ways. One example is the phobia people now have against people of Middle-Eastern decent or people that practice the Islamic religion. Since people think differently of these groups, they do not treat them with the respect they give to other people. They can be denied jobs, education, housing because of their religion and/or their Middle Eastern background.
