NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. Last year, when my class returned to homeroom from music class, my teacher just turned on the TV and put on the news. There I saw the Twin Towers on fire - LIVE! At first, I didn't realize what the big deal was until the second plane hit. Then I was shocked at what a horrible thing someone had done. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. As a country, we have become more united and as a family and individual, I have become more aware of my good fortune to be safe and happy. Also, something that is affecting my parents' lives is the steep decline of stock market prices. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think that when we remember September 11th. we should consider the good fortune, not just the bad. If you think about it, there are a lot of stories explaining how so many people had escaped being in the buildings during the attack. Whether it is luck or fate, many lives were saved that day. 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? Yes, we flew a flag for quite a while after September 11th. The flag has become an even more important symbol to me now. Also, now we fly the flag on special occassions such as Labor Day and the recent one year anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attack.
