9/11 was a the biggest event that has changed how the United States works that i remember many details about. On that morning i was getting ready to go to school when my dads worker called him and told him to turn on the tv. My dad turned it on and my brother and i watched the tv some, however did not completely understand what was going on. I had to go to school and at school my teachers turned it on the tv's however they made us turn it off around lunch time. I remember this event so well because of how it shaped our country. I remember seeing the twin towers burn because it was different than anything else i have seen before, and as i got older to saw the affects of it. I remember it so much because of the very visual images that were shown of the people who died.
Hurriane Katrina was a even that i remember because of all the water damage that was done to a huge city. I remember hearing about it for days on the radio and news. I remember hearing the warnings telling people to get out of the city because of the big storm that was being tracked. I remember seeing interviews with people crying because they didnt want to leave the city or come home to there home being destroyed. This event is so vivid in my mind because of all the damage that was done to people homes and how it tore families apart. I remember it to this day also because of the political arguments that came from the floods. The political arguments and complaints that took place about how George W Bush handled the situation.
The kidnapping that Micheal Devlin did will always be in my mind because being around the kids age that got kidnapped makes it hit closer to home. I remember i was driving to my friends house with my dad and we heard it on the radio that they found that kids that he had kidnapped. When we got to my friends how we turned on the tv right away and watched the news. On the news they walked the kids out of the apartment and were taking Michael to jail. I will always remember this because not to long after i ordered an imos pizza and i remember thinking that micheal worked for imos! Also, i just remember thinking the older kid was around my age and it made me remember the story more because it could happen to me. I also remember watching the news and seeing how depressed the kids looked which made me feel worse for them, than i already did. I will always remember the abuse that the news said these kids went through, which is one reason the story stays in my mind.
What my parents remember:
When the man walked on the moon i was on vacation in colorado with my mom, aunt and my cousins. My mom made us watch it on tv and we watched the men walk on the moon. I remember it so well because they made us stop what we were doing and watch, and there was so much news made about it.
Ozzies homework when jack buck said go crazy folks go crazy, i remember this because we were at that game. We remember it because it became the phrase that Jack Buck was known by. That is why i remember it so much is because of the energy in the stadium and the that the cardinals won because of Ozzie's homerun!
President Nixon resigned i remember that vividly because i was on split shift and i did not start school tell 12:30, and i was at my friends watching tv and he announced. I remember my friends moms crying because i remember my when he waved after getting into the helicopter and there were taking him to an air force base. I remember it so much because it is the only president that resigned during my life so far and it was all over the news before, with the watergate scandle and it was in the news for a long time after.
