some close calls, all family and friends in New York were safe.

victims who were killed, and to the pain that their families are experiencing.
Those in the buildings at the time of the attack were killed not because of who
they were, but because of where they were---in offices in two of the most
recognizable (S2) of American power. Those aboard the doomed planes became both
terror victims and (S3) of terror. Courageous (S4) workers who saved countless
lives by fighting fires and the chaos of the moment lost their lives. And our
(S5) lost in the （S6) of Pearl Harbor but seemingly regained again in the
post-war (S7) ,has been lost again. (S8)
.I will feel pride in the heroism of New York’s citizens. I will think of
the bravery with which this whole nation comforted each other.(S9)
. I will remember always the humanity of the moment. (S10)
I will not let them make me live in fear. I will not let them
win.
