ghosts of war 1

In the beginning of the book, Ryan and Heather visit Ground Zero and become overwhelmed with sadness. I haven't visited a place like this but i could only imagine what it must feel like to visit a place where that much tragedy happened. If I were to visit a place with that much death and tragedy I would try to imagine what would happen to my family if that happened to somone close. I don't know if I would join the army because of this experience but I know it would play a great role in how I thought about our country.
