Awkward 6th Grade Me |
Birthdays, one of the best days in someone's life besides holidays and graduating high school. I woke up early, ready to get the day started. The 6th grade school year had just begun and middle school was a whole new world! We were in Mrs. Paulson's reading class when we got word that One World Trade Center had been hit by a plane. Now to a 6th grader, that didn't really seem like much. Most of us just kind of shrugged, thinking it was just an accident. We went back to reading although Mrs. Paulson was on edge. We shuffled off to the library after some time had gone by. When we got there the librarian was crying and watching the television. Two World Trade Center had been hit as well. At that moment I knew that my 12th birthday, and all of my birthdays after that, would never be the same. The rest of the day was electric. The static of the events that took place carried through lunch, orchestra, and even when I returned home from school. We lightly celebrated my birthday in between watching the television. Tuesday, September 11th, 2011 is a day I will never forget, along with everyone else in America and around the world.
Now known as Patriot's Day, September 11th is a national holiday. We remember those who bravely went into the towers, doing their duty as policemen and firemen. Some came out, many didn't. At the Pentagon, firemen and policemen rallied together to put out the flames and rescue those inside. Acts of courage beyond belief happened that day.
To celebrate Patriot's Day, Victory Ford is offering free oil changes to policemen, firemen, paramedics, and veterans. It's a small thanks for the great work you all do in your community. Please stop in and receive your oil change on us!
We appreciate you calling in early to schedule an appointment as the day tends to fill up quick!
Thanks again to all of those who serve, we appreciate it immensely!
