NMAH Story
NMAH Story: Story
How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience.
I was on a boating holiday with my partner on the Norfolk Broads in England (I am English and live there). our boat had a small TV but we had decided not to use it as we were trying to get away from it all. On September the 11th, in the middle of our holiday we stopped for lunch. We decided to put on the wind-up radio we had bought with us and heard the news. I can't describe what it felt like. It was sureal. I was unsure what the TWO TOWERS were or where they were for a little while. When the scale of the news became apparent, we turned on our TV and watched in horror as the live footage was repeated over and over again. It took some time to understand the enormity of the situation, the huge loss.
We headed back the next day and went home early as we didnt feel we could carry on with the holiday, not knowing the long term effects of that terrible day.
NMAH Story: Life Changed
Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how.
I think the world over peple understood that nothing is certain, nothing is 100% I have learnt to take each day as it comes. Tomorrow is a long way off.
NMAH Story: Remembered
What do you think should be remembered about September 11th?
The loss, the grief and the brave men and women who lost their lives for others that day. We should also remember the careful, proper way that the United forces of the world stood as one to deal fairly with the issues. Remember who stood up and was counted.
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?
In Britain, we had a five miniute silence a week later as a tribute. the counrty stopped completley. I happened to be in town that day and was amayzed that not a single peice of traffic moved, no child cried, no birds chattered. I wore my American flag T'shirt (I have been a frequent visitor to the USA) with pride that day, and will do the same this year.
