The United States has been mourning since this day. Many looking for lovedones, hoping for answers. Others are deeply emotionally scarred, while many are working towards anger and revenge. Through the past few days, many, including mysel,f are still in disbelief and in complete sorrow. Indeed, the country is in mourning and an eerie silence and saddness covers the land. Everywhere you turn, there are some signs of patriotism and respect. Flowers, vigils, candles, yellow ribbons, and mostly, American flags at half staff.

Through all the difficult and unbearable pain the country has experienced, along with the American government, the president, and the various corageous men and women, the tragedy has also brought the American people together. It is only here you will see, enemies hand in hand, tough strong men brought to tears, strangers hugging each other, saying hello to one another crying for one another, and praying for each other.

It is in this light that touches my heart to realize that in this cold cruel isolated world, there are still many compassionate and loving ndividuals, it just takes a common ground to bring everyone together. Most of all, it is at times like these that make me very proud to be an American.

From all of us at f@ux. & laby, our prayers and sympathy for the victims and victims' families & for all who have put thier life, heart, and soul to help bring justice and answers to the American people. These terrorists have, not only attacked theUnited States, but all those who stand for freedom everywhere. Evil has attacked, but Good will prevail. Ways to help*:
