Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Q1. How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. On my way home from my doctor's appointment, I heard on the radio that the twin towers had been bombed by planes. I came home and told my wife to turn on the T.V., with tears in my eyes. Then I called my Dad, and while I was on the phone we both watched in horror as the twin towers crumbled. Then I learned via CNN, that the Pentagon was bombed by another plane. Fearing for my children's safety, I rushed to both of their schools to pick them up. After we were all together, we all learned about Flight 93 crashing at Shanksville, Pennsylvania. It's a day that I'll never forget, but always remember. Q2. Has your life changed because of September 11,2001? If so, tell us how. It has changed for me because, even doing simple things like driving,walking,etc., I was taking things for granted. Now, everything I do and everything my family does, is taken with precaution, constantly watching our backs, our surroundings (which we shouldn't have to do). But I will tell you this, they caught us with our pants down, but rest assured they'll pay. Q3. What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? First we should all remember the victims. Secondly we should remember all the heroes for example, Governor Pataki, Mayor Guliani, Port Authority, Paramedics, the firefighters, the policemen, the steelworkers, the military, the passengers of Flight 93 and President Bush, through his leadership the country was able to slowly but surely rebound from that day's horrific acts. Q4. 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 did, and no my feelings for the American flag have not changed and never will change, because I am a true American and so is my family, we respect the flag for what it stands for, freedom! The one thing that I am glad about that terrible day is , that it opened up a lot of eyes about patriotism, and I hope it never goes away.
