NMAH Story: Story

I woke up late without a care in the world...except for my laundry. I started to wash my clothes when my mom callled and said "isn't this crazy?". I replied with "what are you talking about?", she went on to tell me that the WTC was hit by airplanes. That was all anyone knew. I then proceeded to run to the living room and Dan Rather's voice had become a constatnt sound for two weeks. I watched and recorded everything as it happened. My daugher was in Ohio at the time and all I wanted to do is hear her sweet voice.

NMAH Story: Life Changed

My life has changed in the effect of caution. I was never afraid of war on our land. I always thought " we are very safe". The events that occured on Sept. 11th completely dissipated any feeling of security I had.

NMAH Story: Remembered

Unity. I think that we should remember the unity that the United States had for their compatriots. I think we should practice it more often.

NMAH Story: Flag

Yes. I did fly an american flag after the attacks. However we have been flying our flag for quite sometime before hand. But when I flew it on and after the attacks it was much more than just a flag.
