September 11

What happened on September 11, 2001 could not have been predicted by anyone. The terror attacks and devastation that filled this great country on that day were unexpected and unfathomable. Due to the massive impact these attacks had on the United States of America, the entire country was affected and changed. Every aspect of American life has been affected by the happenings of this one day. Without question, America pulled together to not only get back to normal, but to improve and strengthen the nation.
