NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I WAS WAKING UP TO GET MY SON READY FOR SCHOOL. OF COURSE THE FIRST THING I DO IS TURN ON THE TV TO WATCH THE NEWS. NOT EVEN 30 SECONDS AFTER I TURNED ONT HE TV, DID THE NEWS BROADCAST THAT A PLANE HAD HIT ONE OF THE TOWERS. AT FIRST I WAS THINKING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE PLANE...AND NOT TOO LONG AFTER, THE SECOND HIT. AT THAT TIME I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. SO LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD...I CONTINUED TO WATCH AND FEEL HELPLESS BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO EXCEPT PRAY. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I FEEL LIKE MOST AMERICANS DO AT THIS POINT...NEVER TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED. I LOOK AT PEOPLE TOTALLY DIFFERENT NOW, IN A GOOD WAY. AND MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT THIS TRAGEDY HAS AFFECTED. BUT WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE WILL STAND STRONG. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? WE SHOULD REMEMBER HOW SHORT LIFE CAN BE, AND ALWAYS KNOW WE CAN DEPEND ON EACH OTHER WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH. THE LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS. WITH ALL THE VIOLENCE IN THIS WORLD, I BELIEVE HE MAY HAVE BEEN TELLING US THAT THERE ARE WORSE THINGS OUT THERE, AND WE NEED TO STOP THIS MADNESS AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER INSTEAD OF HURTING ONE ANOTHER. 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? I FLEW A SMALL FLAG OUT OF THE WINDOW OF MY CAR. I DIDN'T GET WRAPPED UP IN THE WHOLE I NEED A HUGE FLAG ORDEAL. IT'S SAD THAT IT TOOK ATRAGEDY LIKE THIS TO GET US AMERICANS TO FLY A FLAG IN THE FIRST PLACE...BUT NOW I BELIEVE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS. I LOVE ALL OF YOU, AND GOD BLESS YOU.
