9-11 Healing Field

Tempe Town Lake

September 11

September 11, 2001, was a very sad day for the United States. Osama Bin Ladin showed his jealousy and hatred for the United States that day. On that day nobody had any idea what was going on; everybody was looking at the television, watching in disbelief. We saw the Twin Towers falling down and everybody was scared. There was also other jeopardy at the Pentagon. There was almost panic at the White House too. It is now September 11, 2012, and we still have not forgotten that day. Yesterday the EDG went to a memorial for all who died in 9/11. This memorial is called Healing Field, located at Tempe Beach Park. There were 2,996 flags up and had all the names of the victims on them. On the outside was a yellow flag for all the rescue helpers that went in and tried to help. On the inside were all the grownups that died, as well as the six children. We could find the children easily because they put Teddy bears on the end of the flag. There were also boots for the soldiers that died. There is no way to end this sadness besides remembering all these people who died.
