chi life you are a sad excuse for a person, everyone came together after if not one of the worst, the worst tragedy that happened in America. Everyone was relevant. No one was silenced. The whole country came together to show that the terrorists may have damaged us but they did not win. That we will carry on being patriotic and loving eachother. It’s sad that our president, who I personally support, has tore that apart. America chose him, he is our president, there is nothing anyone can do about it. He is making America better. Enforcing more laws. Making us safer. But no, Boston was not irrelevant, Chicago wasn’t irrelevant, Charlotte was irrelevant, LA wasn’t irrelevant. No city or individual was irrelevant during this terrible time in American history.

9/11 really brought America together, when before we took everything we had for granted. We realized sports weren't that important, much less so than all that was lost on that fateful Tuesday. We lost our sense of security, freedom, and not to mention 3,000 lives. However, we demonstrated the strong pride shown by America in a time of crisis and moved on. We had to tell Al-Qaeda that they had harmed us, but not defeated us.
