Firefighters

The reason why we chose the firefighters is because they saved lives on 9/11. They risked their lives to save others. Their courage and determination was the turning point from disaster to healing. Without them, some people from the Twin Towers incident wouldn't be here today.

For me, the firefighters are heroes because they risked everything to save so many lives. I still cannot believe the courage and heart of these people. This is the least that my friend and I could do to remember them. I think that is the most honorable thing to do for another person. I still remember the horrifying sight in my mind.

I don't know why anybody would do something so horrible to us. We never did anything to them to deserve this. Luckily, the men and women of the NYPD and Fire Dept. were there to stand up and rescue. Everybody pitched in and never gave up hope. That's what showed our true colors. Even in a time of peril, our light shines bright in dark clouds.

I picked this assignment because the firefighters were really courageous and brave. Also because 9/11 is going to live on for everybody to remember and to learn from this experience. I remember how the firefighters put their lives on the line for the trapped people in the twin towers. I have learned that the firefighters died risking their lives for their country.

I feel that the firefighters are our heroes for the 9/11 attacks on America. Heroes, it means that they are people that risk their lives for their country, but much rather live for it and the firefighters do just that. All of these memories will live in people's hearts forever.
