NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. We don't get good surf very often in New Hampshire. I woke up on tuesday September 11, 2001 to a crystal clear day. The conditions were perfect and the ocean was blessing us with a "September Session". I grabbed my board and jumped in the water. At 8:30 I took my last wave in, I was already late. It was a heavy sand barrel and I remember a loud thump as the wave closed out. My adrenalin was rushing and I had a perfect morning surf buz going. While ironing my suit I turned on the morning news to watch the first plane hit the World Trade Center in disbelief. Then the second plane and then the third plane. In my mind, all I could think was "what the hell is going on?" I didn't know what to do. Growing up in Connecticut, I knew a lot of people that worked in New York including my dad. Was he in New York today? I truly felt sick. The day was the most unnerving and unsettling day of my life. It is so sad to remember all of the people who have suffered. Everyone in my family is safe and I am grateful for this. Many surfers from New York and New Jersey were late for work on September 11th because of the surf. I am also thankful for this. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I have become a teacher. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? We are not alone or invinsible. Respect people and live every day to the fullest. Love your neighbors and be kind. 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 had a sticker on my car. I am much more reflective about the flag. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
