Well, it was about 6:30 am PDT when I was woken up by my Fiance tell me to turn the TV on, I turned on the TV and changed the channel to CNN. I saw the pictures and thought it was a horrific dream. Unfortunetly it wasn't. The pictures still play out in my mind like if I am watching it right now. Because of the advent of the Internet and because of the advent of live TV, my family and I were able to witness the horrific events of 9-11-01 that was happening in New York City, Washington D.C. and in Pennslyvaina. This was my pearl harbor and until the day I pass I will always remember that day with such clairity and emotion that I pray that there is NEVER a respeat of this magnituded ever again. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I appreciate life more then I have ever done before. I am still aware that what ever happens is out of my control, but I don't and will never live in fear because of it. For me life is richer then before. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Just like Pearl Harbor, I think we should more then anything else remember how regular humanbeing rose to the occation and faced death head on and did everything they could to help those in need. This shows us that no matter how bad it can get the human spirit will prevail, Not just the American spirit, but the human spirit. 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? I flew the American flag on the house, the car, the bike. And why should my feelings change? It is still the Flag of the United States of America, It still stands for what American originally stood for, and will always be the symbol of the United States.
