Sandy Dahl, wife of the pilot of Flight 93 Jason Dahl, said, “If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.” I believe that this quote perfectly addresses the horror and loss that the terrorist attacks on 9/11 brought Americans. Sandy Dahl could have been angry, aggressive, or even belligerent following the 9/11 attacks, but instead Dahl very maturely used the events as a life lesson that helped her appreciate the lives we do have. She now understands that one should not waste what little life we do have, and this is so true for every single one of us. We get too caught up in the nuisances, drama, and other seemingly important things in our lives and sometimes we forget to love life,

This is striking because it is hate that fueled the terrorist attacks that killed her husband. I find it truly remarkable that someone in her position would have such poise and forgiveness to be able move on from the tragedy.

The memorial would be the national monument that pays respect to the World Trade Centers. The purpose of it would not only to remember the event but also to use it to unify us as a country as learn from it to make us a happier people. It is important when dealing with such traumatic events to be able to find support from family, friends, and those around us. That is our job as American citizens to look out and help one another. It is horrific events like this where we see how well our country comes together in the face of adversity. At Ground Zero around the monument would be a paved sidewalk for people to walk around the structure, but there would not be any trees or anything else. This is to add to the emptiness of the space that used to contain two massive skyscrapers. I intend for that to add to the feeling that there is a void in New York City where we are missing a part of
