NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. The morning of September 11th, 2001, I remember waking up and turning on the radio in my room to listen to music while i got ready. I heard people talking when I turned it on about a fire from the WorldTrade Center but I really didn't think anything of it because I wasn't really understanding what they were talking about. When i went into the kitchen to get something to eat i saw my mom and dad both standing in front of the tv and my mom had tears in her eyes and I saw the trade center on the tv. I remember saying "Oh my gosh mom what happened?" And they told me the whole story about a plane crashing into one of the towers. I just figured that it was an accident at the time and then later I found out it was because of terrorists. It really freaked me out. On the way to school my mom was listening to the radio and I understood what they were talking about. When I got to school we didn't really talk about it in first period because it was spanish but then in English class our teacher told us everything and we all started to get really scared and sad about it all. And in every other class that day we talked about it also. Then that night after school I looked at pictures of it all, even the ones of people jumping out of the buildings and it made me really sad about it all. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My lifestyle at all hasn't really changed, and none of my family members were involved in the September 11th tragedy but i know some of my friend's lives have. I started praying a lot more after September 11th, and even watching the news with my mom once in a while just to see if anything else in the world has happened. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think all of the lives of every single person that was killed in the tragedy should be remembered forever. They died for our country, so they should be remembered always. 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 remember my mom put an American flag on our car for a few weeks until it started shredding from the wind . I now look at the flag in a whole different and meaningful way now that September 11th has happened.
