Three minutes of silence for America


Students at Gemeentelijke lagere school in Belgium
during three minutes of silence for America

Dear friends in Belgium,

I was very upset when this bad thing happen in New York City. I don't understand why the people driving the planes wanted to kill themselves. Thank you for being so nice and sending us that nice letter. We are having red, white and blue day on Friday. I wish these people would leave us alone.I have a flag at home. GOD BLESS YOU. I wish we would not have a war. My Daddy's brother has a 19 year old girl and her boyfriend might go to war and she is upset. My daddy's other brother has two boys and one is 20 and one is 19 we are afraid they might be on a draft that is about the war.I was very upset because I didn't know why all these kids where getting picked up [from school] on that Tuesday. I was wondering why I was not getting picked up. I am upset because of the innocent people that got hurt just because they wanted to kill some people that is not the way to kill people. New York City looks different without the twin towers.

Dear Friends in Belgium,

Thank you for caring about all the people that died in New York and for caring about us.We lost thousands of people and we lost freedom because lots of people where scared but police officers died, fire fighters died, all these other people died because all the planes crased into the buildings and lots of ash came out of the buildings.

Hello Todd,

I have read your letter, I found it very sad for all the people in New York. We have seen on TV a lot of what's happened there. We all are hoping that the killers will be found and punished. Everybody's hoping that the terrorists will be found soon and that there's not started a war. Europe will respect the meening of America. I hope that America don't need weapons, that they find the leader of the terrorists and find a solution. We wish all the peoples a lot of courage at this time, expecially those who have lost someone because of the attacks.

Your friend,
Ken
