NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I was in the middle of a wonderful dream that I was flying through the air over a large city when I look in front of me when I saw two very tall but identical towers that I was closing in on. I got closer and closer, picking up speed until I finally came into contact, I woke up only to find myself being yanked out of bed by my mother to the TV in her room and I saw what the rest of the world saw, two towers, very tall but identicl in size, one of them was on fire. When I came to school and went to my history class, the second tower was hit, but what was most sad is that when I saw people jumping out of the towers, two boys that I didn't like very much were laughing at them. As I came home I thought to myself, "Was that dream really so wonderful, or was it some kind of a sign that I'm supposed to do something with my life?" I don't know and I don't expect to find out anytime soon. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My awareness has skyrocketed, I cant even pass by people without turning around to see where they are going. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I can imagine those reading this, many of which have been drastically affected by the September 11th attacks, that all of you wish that none of this should've happened, a word of encouragement for those who feel this way,"So do all people who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide, all you have to do is decide what to do with the time that is given to you, there are other forces in this world besides evil, and that is an encouraging though." NMAH Story: Flag 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? I did fly the our flag and my feelings have not changed at all because I still believe in our country.
