Mikey, I can see you already have a huge amount of American Patriotism inside you. I can tell you that once you have taken your oath of citizenship to become a U.S. citizen, that sense of pride and that American Patriotism will reach a level that you will not be able to contain. However, being an American and becoming an U.S. citizen are two different things. Being an American is an attitude of the heart, it's something you are, not something you become. Becoming an U.S. citizen is a legal formality that allows you the rights and privileges of this country. I can say without a doubt, That YOU are already an TRUE American!
I think you’re a little carried away with your Nationalistic perspective … I Believe our country has A lot of room for improvement (my entire life we have been at war)…. My sister moved to Europe (around 10years ago) and is afraid to move back to USA For Many Reasons (mostly surrounding Idiot Congress , supreme court oligarchs etc ) …. I miss my family and my Country (it’s slipping into Trump Fascist Nationalist Territories Quickly). We All used to find a way to Build unity…We ALL united in 2001…..It’s not been possible since 2016.
@@AxelFoleyDetroitLionsI agree the USA needs improvement, but I think you’re also a little weird with your sensationalism talking about fear and fascism ect. The USA is behind most first world countries in a lot of ways, but it’s still better than most countries out there. Plenty of countries also have too many limits on things like freedom of speech and diversity of thought which is important in any truly free society.
The USA USA USA chant was born in the 1980 Olympics when US college students beat the Soviet pro hockey team. It's referred to as "the Miracle on Ice" and given your love for America, you'll really enjoy reacting to it. Just find a more complete version that gives you the background leading up to it. (It's also a great movie by the same name w Kurt Russell)
I cried joyful tears. My brother had joined the Marines around the initial attack and seeing a success of such a magnitude was overwhelming. Watching 9/11 footage as it happened in real time is hard to watch but I think everyone should see it so they can get a glimpse of the horror so we can never let something like that happen again. When we forget history, we are bound to repeat it. I hope we, as humans, have learned.
My Geography Teacher Flipped the LIVE News on in my classroom Senior Year of High School……We saw the 2nd Plane Hit Building 2 Live . I had Friends in Marines shortly after….Some had kids in Marines , and in the same places 20 years later too. I’m glad we’ve pulled out and are preparing for eastern fronts now.
I was studying for an ap exam and my stepmom came running in the room telling my sisters and I we got bin laden. I did not get sleep before this exam I stayed up all night watching the chants it was an emotional day in the United States
Your going to feel that patriotism in person pretty soon. It's a very wonderful feeling!!! When I heard the news I went outside with my family and held candles and people were honking their horns and out of nowhere hundreds of people joined us and held candles with us. It was AMAZING!!!!
I did not find out until the next morning as I was asleep when announced. I found out the next morning. For me I just cried, overwhelmed with emotion, I prayed for all those living with the loss of loved ones killed that September day and for those who are living with injuries and trauma of experiencing 911. It was ten years and I had really thought that the day of reckoning would not happen in my lifetime.
I don't remember where i was when Bin Laden was killed, but i remember where i was on 911... I was in my 7th grade math class.... another teacher came in and told our teacher to turn on the tv/news.. he said "naw.. ill read about it in the paper tomorrow"... math class ends and i have library hour... we watched the footage from then to the end of the day.. so many of my friends got picked up from school by their parents out of fear... crazy shit
Even here on the Gulf Coast the atmosphere after we found out Bin Laden was killed was absolutely electric. My 9 year old self even knew this was a gargantuan moment in US history.
Thank you for your reaction, it made me smile. We knew this man would never stop terrorizing the world, finally we stopped him. Your reaction showed true empathy, that's everything ❤
I was studying for finals and watching the phillies game in the student government office (I was student body president and am from Philly). Went into the computer lab and announced the news and then went to a friends house to do shots... ill never forget that night
I recall this as if it occured yesterday (though I don't recall if it was day or nighttime). My wife and were watching television program when a "Special Report" screen suddenly appeared. I immediately felt a sense of dread that another terror attack on our home turf occured. Thank God it wasn't the case. Once it was reported that OBL was found and killed, we both held on to each other and audibly sighed with relief, and then out of nowhere we finally cried aloud with both deep body rattling grief, relief and happiness that victim families might begin to recover a sense of control, the nightmare ended, the deaths of their loved ones had been avenged by snuffing out our enemy's leader, and our military would continue to war until OBL's followers and sympathizers were no more. (I guess that we must have held our feelings in since 9/11 to be respectful and strong around family and friends.) Very positive progress had been made! A murderous lunatic was killed, and his followers were struck shocked and harmless, at least for the short-term. The USA sent OBL celebrants and followers a very clear, graphic message: If you dare ever mess with the USA or her allies. Our military will hunt you down and slaughter you like the filth-ridden vermin you are. If you hadn't at least guessed by now, the majority in the USA loves its military, our protectors, freedom fighters and deserving heroes. These brave men and women are the red, white and blue real deal. May God bless and protect them all.
I was in middle school and i remember hearing the news and the entire vibe in the whole country changed drastically. We went from losing family and friends in the war and living with a constant lingering fear and uncertainty and its like everyone adults and children alike took a sigh of relief collectivly. It was the end of an era and an end to one of the biggest moments in history
I am proud to consider you an American. The important thing is your pride in America, understand our values. Unfortunately there are people in America that don't deserve to be American. To me honesty, integrity, hard work and love for our neighbors are core.
Such an important & significant day for the U.S. and the world. That night..in that ballpark of 40,000 people..were true Americans in solidarity. Not as opposing team rivals, but as Americans. Proud of our men and women of the armed forces, our democracy, our President, our freedoms, our flag. A strong message was sent that night..any country or person(s) with an intent on inflicting harm against the people of the U.S. through heinous acts of terrorism.. will be delivered with the wrath of justice from our great American hero's of the U.S. military! It is unfortunate and sad also, that we had our own "home grown" domestic form of terrorism back on Jan 6, 2021😢 When heavily armed DJT supporters, attacked our capitol, inciting violence..an insurrection..that would leave 5 people dead. All because they believed the false claims of election fraud. This was not only an attack on our Capitol building, but also on democracy and the rule of law. But happy to say..Democracy prevailed! 1000 were charged, 500 have been sentenced thus far, for their roles in capital attack. NO ONE is above the law!
I live on the west coast in California so I was still awake to see this news live and I can tell you it brought me to tears of gratitude for this country. I see in you the same drive for something different and hope that you will become a citizen.
Some time around 18:00 EST I started hearing things; as it got later into the night it became more clear that, Yes, We Did Get Him! At around 22:00, I hung up the large Flag I had, to celebrate! I’m a soldier (retired),but I know people! My friends knew what I didn’t, and they were jubilant! They were also oblique about it, but knowing what to read and look for was enough for me to read like braille. As it got later in the night, the cement hardened! I knew it was 6! I knew it was Pakistan. I learned it was 160 SOAR too. 2+2=4
I was 16 when 9/11 happened i live on the opposite side of the country. Its the worst thing that has ever happened in my lifetime and i remember that night he was killed i cant express the relief that came over me and the rest of America it was like i got 1000 pounds taken off my shoulders i didn't fear my kids going through that again after that
This was an amazing day in the USA!
Ironic it was the Mets & Phillies. As two planes crashed in NY & one in Pennsylvania.

I lost 2 friends in tower 1.All I could do was cry.
See if you can find the rescue of Jessica Buchanan by Seal Team Six. My heart bursts with so much pride and love for all our military.

Go Phils! Philadelphia, the birthplace of our nation. To have it happen in Philly is epic.
I will never forget this night . I was so extra proud of our Military, President and Country 🌠✔️

Streets in our homes anywhere and everywhere we were celebrating as one Nation 😁😁
New York winning that game was like destiny that day.

Whats so strange is the moment i started watching this video i just happen to glance at the clock on the stove and it read, "911" Wow.

Every one was proud including Fox news. I know I listened to the commentaries.
I hope that you have watched the video reactions of the navy seal that actually killed Bin Laden. It is an amazing watch.
3:13 For your info Mkey "POTUS" is newsspeak for "President of the United States".
Fox News was very dismissive.
