The Face of America – We Remember!

(I wrote this article on September 11, 2009. When the planes flew into the World Trade Center, I was scared. I did not know what to do and tried to make sense of it all. As I watched and listened to the news reports, the news seemed to continue to get worse that dreadful day. I could not pull myself away from the television, but I could no longer bear to hear the voices of the reporters. I muted the sound and continued to watch. Only now, I began to watch the people and their reactions – facial expressions and body language. That is how The Face of America was born. I only hope that through this article you also will be able to make some sense of the tragedy that hit all Americans on September 11, 2001. This version is reworded a little to correct some errors in the grammar.-LS Pearson)
