Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: 1. How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I was attending a master gardener class when our speaker came into the room and said the World Trade center and Pentagon were hit by an airplane. The room fell silent and you could hear a pen drop. My partner immediately tried to use her cell phone and offered help because she was a nurse. She left and our class was dismissed early. I kept my hair appointment because he assured me he had a T.V. and we could watch the news together. I was glad I wasn't alone tht afternoon because my sons were at school and my husband was at work. 2.Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so tell us how. Yes I think everybodys life has changed. I tried to be more aware of my surroundings and I want to be more knowledgeable about world events. I try not to take things for granted and hope to live each day to the fullest. The family goes to church more often and we hope to show more kindness and peace in the world. 3.What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? There were so many courageous people that helped the victims and hurting people in D.C., New York, Pennsylvania and we should never forget their bravery. I think we should remember how patriotic our country became and all walks of life helped out. The store sold American flags. Red Cross received too much blood. People donated millions of money and services to help after 9/11. Our government showed leadership and really began to work together. 4.Did you fly an American flag after the events of September 11th? Have your feelings about the American flag changed as a result of September 11th? Yes I had a flag flying that Saturday on the front of my house and had miniture flags on top of our mailbox. My feelings are stronger for the American flag. Being a teacher I always had a flag in the classroom and taught facts about the flag to the kids. I still get goosebumps when the National Anthem is sung with the flag at sporting events. I love seeing people show their patriotism by flying the flag more often.
