We are dedicating this page to the friends and families of those killed or injured during the cowardly attack on an innocent American civilian population on 9/11/01; also to the rescue workers and volunteers who have given so much of themselves to help during this tragedy - some have given all.

Fifth grader ponders attacks 


To the Editor: 

I just can't believe people in their right minds would do such a thing. Four plane crashes, purposely! I really, really wish that this didn't really happen. I wish we were all dreaming, and when we woke up, everything would be fine. But, of course, that's one wish that won't come true. It's just scary to think that people would kill our fellow Americans. Last night, I was lying in bed, staring our the window, and I kept thinking I was hearing firecracks and explosions. 

On the news this is being called "Attack on America." I think it should be called "Attack on American People." So many innocent lives were lost. You can't imagine how lucky we are to still be living and not dead. I can't say we're not injured, because we are. We may not have cuts and bruises to prove it, but this affected everyone in America, and everyone was hurt that this happened to our country. It's just unbelievable. All my life, I know I still won't believe why someone would do such a thing. Right now, my hand hurts from writing, but I'll keep on going. Just like America really hurts right now, but it'll keep on going. But that, of course, is a bigger issue. 

I feel bad for the people in the country that did this to America. While some people may be dancing victory in the streets, I would think there would be some people ashamed that their own country would hurt another country like this. 

We may not have been in New York City, we may not have had someone we know there, but we feel the sorrow for those that were in New York City to watch this happen, and for the people that had a person they know die innocently. We all love New York City, we all love the United States, but obviously, some other people in other countries don't love New York City and the United States.

We are just kids,
what can we do
to show America,
we love her too.

We are too young,
we can't fight or give aide,
we can't give blood,
yet it's our future being made.

Acting alone, we are weak,
there is not much we can do,
but together, we are stronger,
than anyone knew.

So together, we will unite,
across this nation, hand in hand,
by collecting pennies,
we can help our troubled land.

A penny can't do much,
when it is all alone,
by putting millions together,
see how it's strength has grown.

The Patriotic Pennies,
is how they will be known,
as school kids band together,
no longer weak and alone.

So if a kid comes to your door,
with a bag, coffee can, or jar,
give your Patriotic Pennies,
for he or she is a rising American Star.

The name "Patriotic Pennies", is used with permission from Sherri Stafford, teacher at Evans Middle School in Evansville Indiana, who coined the phrase and with help from fellow teachers started this project " Patriotic Pennies". Please pass this on to Teachers across the USA, give our kids something to do so they will know they are just as needed and as capable of helping out during this sad time in America's history.
