Today is September 11, 2007. It is the sixth anniversary of a terrorist attack on our country. The terrorists were people who don’t like the United States or our way of life.
How do you feel about the United States? What makes the United States a special country? Are there reasons you’re glad you live here instead of someplace else? Write a response that shares your feelings about your country.

Remember: Nobody wins unless everybody wins.
