Hey guys! I figured I should comment on this since I’ve gotten so many wonderful reviews.. I wrote this nearly 6 or 7 years ago, and to this day I still receive so many wonderful compliments on something that I would otherwise back to with embarrassment, since I’m not a part of the Hetalia fandom anymore... I haven’t been for years (and the obvious errors like the iPhone and the incorrect Vice President... *facepalms*) But it’s so heartwarming to know that so many people love it. I was planning on taking this account down, but I have so many people say that it’s their favorite, so I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.
Anyway, my message for all of you lovely folks is - things change. My life is so different from the time I wrote this. So much has happened. And one of the biggest things that changes is your perception of things. When I first learned about 9/11 in school, I didn’t realize the negative impact it had on Islamic countries. I didn’t know how many people died in their home because we became afraid and aggressive after this day. Now, if someone asked me to write a story like this, I wouldn’t have done it. It’s too dangerous of a topic. But at the time, I didn’t know better. I’ve grown as a person. And I’ve grown as a writer - thanks to the feedback I’ve been given by all of you. When I’m down, I’ll read the comments sometimes. It cheers me up. Thank you all so much. I can’t express how happy I am that you all love it.
Ps... it’s been nearly 7 years since I’ve used this account at all, but I’m thinking of renewing it and continuing writing. What do you guys think?

wait, are there even iPhones as early as 2003?

When I was reading the part when the first plane came, a sound of a helicopter flew by. It was so in sync too! XD

This is very well-written. My eyes were actually watering reading this. I didn't learn much about 9/11 until like middle school, but your story gave me some major insight. Not only did you express the panic tragedy of that day, but you expressed the heroism of American citizens. Plus you mentioned how the world supported and assisted America after the attacks, which is something I was not aware of. And on top of that, you described how the attacks affected the Nations themselves, mainly America, and made it believable. God bless you.

Thank you for writing this. I lost my Cousin and Uncle in the 9/11 attacks. My cousin... She was a firefighter and my uncle was a civilian, but H was the kinda guy that didn't just do nothing when something bad happens- he'd kick ass and take names while saving any lives he could. It was just who he was... Thank you for doing this.

God Bless America.

(PS- America is my boi, even if he and I are a little obnoxious...)

May those who passed in this unfortunate and horrific event all rest in peace.
To those firemen and some others who risked their lives and even lost it to save others, though unidentified, we all praise you.
God bless America

This is a great one-shot that has made me cry

I GOT CHILLS, THIS IS SO GOOD. I really love how this applies to real life as well.

This is beautiful

Holy crap the feels man, even tho im a filipino, after reading this my heart just like shattered into a gazillion pieces. ;3;

This was a great, if not sad, read. Good job, and God bless those who died in this tragic event.

I was born 3 months and 15 days after 9/11

Great story. I loved it. I will never forget 9/11, even if it was before I was born.

And when you said Sirius, I thought of HP.

so many countries
I always knew that the 9/11 attack had a big impact on the world
but still...so many countries in mourning...

God Bless America. It's weird to think that the kids in 9th grade right now weren't even alive during 9/11...It's crazy to think so much time has passed already..
