A day of destruction, a day of pain, a day that brought us together yet tore us apart. 9/11 was a day of loss and gain. Yes, there was more loss that day with how many people we lost but a gain because we came together as a nation and helped people no matter who they were. Even though it was their job, firefighters and the police force risked their lives to save people while everyone was going down they were going up.

She thinks it's bad because if we rebuild it, it will just be another target and she thinks it would be good because it would show we are not scared and we won't back down. After everything had happened our nation had to do a lot of things to make us feel safe again let's see what she thinks about
