NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. Living in a small town in Tennessee, I am located a long ways from where the main attacks occured, however, since my daughter was a firefighter in the D.C. area, it hit close to home. I was at work and we were in the middle of a staff meeting when the business owners' Mother called and said.. turn the T.V. on.. we are under attack!!! I am not sure what we were thinking but we finished our meeting and then turned on the Television to see what she was talking about. We all stood in disbelief as to what we were seeing on the television. I attempted to call my daughter, Shawna Humphrey Spigone, but of course was unable to get through the D.C. area. Shortly after seeing the chaos, my phone rang, thank God, it was my daughter. She said "Mom, I am standing outside of the Pentagon, I borrowed someones Cel Phone, we are staged and getting ready to go inside, I just wanted to call and tell you that I love you" All I could say through the held back tears was "Be Careful and I love you too" .. Needless to say, I was not much use to anyone for the rest of the day, until many hours later, she called and said I am back at the station and we are all okay. I thank God for that every day! NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how.
