NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I was in bed with a terrible sinus infection and decided to turn the tv on. What I thought I would see when I turned on the tw was an old movie. What I saw was much different. I saw the first plane flying into the building, I thought to myself that Hollywood had just gone too far and that I wasn't going to watch that kind of garbage. Then about the time I was going to change the channel the second plane flew in the the other building and the reality and horror of what had just happened slammed into me. The sinus infection just seemed petty in light of what I'd just seen. MY first thought was of my children and husband. I called each of them on their cell phones just to connect and to tell them I loved them. My oldest son teaches in a Dallas subburb and his students, normally very active were quiet and passive. My husband, also a school teacher in a small town had much the same reaction from his students. I work at Lubbock Christian University and as the student body gathered for chapel there was silence as they watched the horror unfold on the large screens at the front of the auditorium. Many students, as well as faculty and staff were on their knees in prayer for the victims and their families. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My prayer life has changed. I thank God every day for the blessings and the trials in my life. I try to tell my family often how much I love them. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Definitely the heroes from all over the world who stepped up to help. The children who lost parents. The parents who lost their children. 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? My feelings about the flag and America haven't changed. What happened last year only re-enforced my love for this country and her people. I am proud to be an American.
