How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience.
I was watching television when it showed that a plane had crashed into one of the towers. I was listening to the people on Channel 13 talking about what had happened when all at once they said the second tower had been hit also by a plane. I was shocked and couldn't believe what had happened. My mind kept telling me something was very wrong.
Has your life changed because of September 11,2001? If so, tell us how.
Yes, my life has changed alot. I pay more attention to other people, their actions and what their possible intentions may be. We need to be more caring about each other today.
What do you think should be remembered about September 11th?
I feel this was a dastardly act and that we should never take for granted that the United States is untouchable for being attacked. I feel that this could have been prevented if President Clinton hadn't cut the money and reduced the capability of U.S. intelligence services. We must be alert at all times.
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 in order to show we can never be defeated for we will stand for the flag always and our freedom. Yes, because this is a symbol of our faith.
