Q: HOW DID YOU WITNESS HISTORY ON SEPTEMBER 11th? SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE.
A: WELL, I WAS DOWN AT THE BOAT YARD AT LITTLE CREEK, AND WE WERE WATCHING THE NEWS; THE TELEVISION WAS ON, JUST AS THE FIRST PLANE HIT THE FIRST BUILDING, AND WE WATCHED IT EXPLODE, AND THEN WE JUST KEPT ON WATCHING UNTIL THE SECOND PLANE HIT LATER ON.
Q: HAS YOU'RE LIFE CHANGED BECAUSE OF SEPTEMBER 11th? IF SO, TELL US HOW.
A. WELL, I DON'T THINK MY LIFE HAS CHANGED, BUT IT'S MADE ME MORE AWARE OF THE PEOPLE AROUND ME, AND TRYING TO BE MORE CAREFUL OF WHERE I GO AND WHAT I DO WHEN I GET THERE.
Q: WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE REMEMBERED ABOUT SEPTEMBER 11th?
A: I THINK ALL THE PEOPLE THAT DIED SHOULD BE REMEMBERED, ALL THE POLICEMEN, THE FIREMEN, THE RESCUE WORKERS, AND ALL THE CIVILIANS THAT DIED IN THE COLLAPSE OF THE BUILDINGS.
Q:DID YOU FLY A FLAG AFTER THE EVENTS OF SEPTEMBER 11th? HAVE YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT THE AMERICAN FLAG CHANGED AS A RESULT OF SEPTEMBER 11th?
A:YEAH, I PUT A FLAGPOLE UP IN THE FRONT YARD RIGHT AFTER THAT, AND I'VE LEFT IT UP EVER SINCE. MY FEELINGS ABOUT THE FLAG HAVE NEVER CHANGED. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A STRONG FEELING ABOUT AMERICA AND THE FLAG.
