NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. It was kind of ironic. I first witnessed the event in my US history classroom. A teacher ran in with a stack full of papers, slamed it on my teacher's desk and quickly ran out. My teacher read it aloud and thought it was a joke or drill at first. Then to see if it was real, we turned on the TV. I had no antenna atatched to it because it was only meant for movies. When it came on there was a fuzzy picture of one of the trade towers smoking. Our class got let out and i ran down to the student center and rigth s i got there i saw the other plane hit. It was a replay of the second plane. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I live in asuburb of chicago so i go there alot on the weekends for whatever reasons. After september 11th, I didn't go for a while. And even now I will go downtown, and my stomach will get a little queesy when I look up at the Sears Tower. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think that the unity of our naion should be remembered. Following the tragic our country rallied together and we were all united. That bond/togetherness should be remembered. 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? Yes we did. My dad actually drove 45 minutes home from work and put up our flag becasue nobody was home, and drove back. Today my school had a ceremony where we lowered our flag to half-mast. Now every time I ook at a flag I think of our nation standing together against any force that may prve to be a threat.
