NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. My husband and I were in Emporia, Kansas for the funeral of my grandmother. We were staying with a friend of mine from school. We had waken up and were having coffee, when her mother called and told her to turn the tv on. When the tv was turned on, it was like it was a dream. The WTC was on fire and no one really knew at the time what had happened. Then, moments later, the second tower was hit on live tv by another plane. We just sat there speechless, not knowing what to say or do. By then, reports were comming over the air about the Pentagon and Pennsylvania. My brother had come to take us to the bus to return home to Dallas. By then, we were very scared, because our two small children were here in Dallas with my mother-in-law. We left to get the bus, but were delayed by an hour due to the attacks. That was when we heard on the radio about the WTC collapsing. My heart collapsed along with it. By the time we returned to Dallas that night, we did not truely understand the impact until we got home and watched the replay. I felt violated as an American. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Our lives have changed. We are more cautious about our surroundings. I cannot fly anymore due to fear of my plane being targeted. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? The innocent lives lost. Also, the resuce workers, such as the NYPD, NYFD, and everyone who came to help out in a time of need. 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? We did not purcahse a flag because of the area we live in. People would take your flag. But, I do have more respect for the flag more than ever. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
