My experience is significant because.......

I believe that my experience is significant because I wasn't here when 9-11 happened. I moved back to this country in 2004. America, the culture and traditions were strange to me.  When people reacted to the subject of 9-11 I felt disconnected from that day. To most Americans alive today, they remember it vividly while I don't have a single memory of September 11th. It's strange to think about really, an American who does not relate 9-11, an attack on their country, to pain or sorrow. To me it was just a day. When I got older and realized the significance I felt....I don't know even know. I guess I could describe it as disbelief that because of one day we have endured 12 years of war.
