Remembering 9/11

by Thaddeus Duhaney

The incident of September 11, 2001 has changed people's lives. The acts of September 11 have not only affected people personally but have also changed the entire world. The event of September 11 has surely been one of the most frightening experiences that America as well as the nations of the world experienced in history. This act of terrorism has had a direct impact on my life and the compagny where I am employed. Since the compagny I work for is in the aerospace industry, it has been affected directly by this event.
