NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I WAS AT WORK LISTENING TO THE NEWS. THEN I WENT TO SEE FOR MYSELF. LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER THE SECOND PLANE HIT THE SECOND TOWER. IT WAS THAT MOMENT I WILL NEVER FORGET. THE EMOTIONAL UPROAR INSIDE OF ME. SADNESS THAT SOMEONE COULD HATE AMERICA SO MUCH AS TO DESTROY INNOCENT LIVES. ANGER THAT THE TERRORIST WERE SUCH COWARDS THAT THEY SUCKER PUNCHED, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I FELT PERSONALLY AS IF ONE OF MY OWN FAMILY MEMBERS HAD BEEN PICKED ON. I CRIED FOR THE VICTIMS, THEIR FAMILIES AND MYSELF I FELT PERSONALLY ATTACKED. A TORNADO OF EMOTIONS WHIRLED AROUND INSIDE OF ME. I WAS THEN CALLED AND PUT ON ALERT FOR THE AMERICAN RED CROSS. I AM A NURSE. I WAS WILLING, READY AND ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". I PRAYED FOR ALL INVOLVED. ASKED FOR GUIDANCE. ASKED GOD NOT TO HARDEN MY HEART, BUT GIVE ME UNDERSTANDING. I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. MY LIFE HAS CHANGED IN THE WAY THAT I CHARISH THE MOMENTS AND MY PRIORITIES HAVE CHANGED. SAY " I LOVE YOU". TAKE A MOMENT LONGER IN THAT HUG. LIVE FOR TODAY. TRY NOT TO LET THE LITTLE ANNOYANCES OF THE DAY GET TO ME. CAUSE THESE LITTLE ANNOYANCES WON'T MEAN A THING A YEAR FROM NOW. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? THE THE U.S.A. PULLED TOGETHER AS "ONE NATION UNDER GOD". I FELT AS IF THE NATION OF PEOPLE BECAME ONE. 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? OH, YES. I CONTINUE TO FLY IT ON A DAILY BASES Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
