NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I remember waking up and coming down the stairs to see my mom in the kitchen watching the TV wiht tears in her eyes.She told me what was going on and I didnt really understand since I really didnt know where the Trade Centers were or why a plane crash could make such an impact. I then saw the Plane routes and realized that it was a terrorist attack and people were trapped and would never get out.It was so devastating watching the people tell their stories of last good byes and the fire fighters who were heors dying for their country and its people.The next day I was sittin gin my History class when my teacher brought out an article and read it to us. It was honest,pure, and thoughtful we all felt the pain and the things that were going on in everyones heads. By the time my teacher was done the whole class was sitting silently crying. Ill never forget the moments and the tragedies that will be with me forever. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I think in a way its changed every American life even if people dont want to admit it or the dont even realize how much that day meant to everyone.i know its changed my life in alot of ways i worry more about people and where they are going or whether I will get to see them again.I also now always have some thought in my mind about war or terrorists and know there is no cure and nothing that can be done about it. Its hard to imagine that i got to live such an event in history. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think the people who were effected,the fire fighters who died and risked their lives. and also the good that came out of this even it brought america together through heart and mind. We are now more united and strong. 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, i hung an American flag in my locker. I now understand more on how the people felt when our flag was created and what it meant to them. It is now a more important symbol in all of our lives.
