NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I was in my World History class in 6th grade and my principle came over the intercom and told everyone to turn on the T.V. We saw the second plane crash into the building and it was shocking. It didnt feel real, like a nightmare or something. I did not have any fmaily in NYC so it wasnt as hard for me as it was for other people but it was still devastating knowing how much pain families were in at the time. A month later my family went up to New York for a vacation and we visited Ground 0. It was amazing and incredibly sad. Dirt, dust and rubbish everywhere! NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I feel like my life has changed a little bit. Even though no one in my fmaily or any friends died bc of this, I realized that my self or any of my friends or family could die at any moment. I have also become more patriotic. I try not to fight with ppl bc I know I wouldnt want to leave this world in an arguement. and I always tell my family that I love them whenevr I am leaving them, even if just for like an hour. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think everyone should remeber how strong our nation is. The Sept 11th attacks brought everyone togtehr and made them realize how easy a life could be taken away. 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? My family did fly a flag for a while after the attacks.
