NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I just got to work. Someone said that a plane had hit the WTC. I thought it was an accident. I went to my room. Coworkers had the computer on getting the news. We then heard there was a second plane. We all had our radios on. then it was the Pentagon. someone went home and grabbed a tv. We couldn't believe it. what was happening. I work at Canyon Heights Young Parents High School in kaysville, Ut. Many of our teenage mother's just hugged their babies and din't want to go to class. Many students went home. I wanted to go home and get my kids. But I didn't. I hugged them tight when we returned from work and school. My heart goes out to all of those lost. Good for those on the last plane that didn't reach their destination. They had time to respond and they did. They saved who knows how many people because of their heroic efforts. God bless you all. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Yes, I cry a lot more. I am more thankful for family and friends. I am more courteous to people. I am trying to be a lot more tolerant of rude people. I think twice about a lot of things. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? That there were a lot of heroes that day. Many in uniform and many not in uniform. We stood tall and didn't stay down when we were first knocked down. We got back up and have gone on. We can be strong and united. Stay the way forever and always. Love the RED, WHITE, and BLUE. 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. I have always liked the stars and stripes. I have always thought about the words....Through the rockets red glare.....etc. Now it means more to me because I have lived in a time when the flag has risen up out of ashes. The flag represents us all. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
