How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience.
I was standing in my kitchen watching "Good Morning America" on T.V. I was watching the smoke coming out of the first tower that was hit when suddenly another plane came into the picture and flew into the second tower. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. For the next hour I couldn't move away from the T.V.
Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so tell us how.
My everyday life has not really changed but the events of September 11 have made me realize how special and fragile life can be.
What do you think should be remembered about September 11th?
I think we should remember all of the everyday people who became heroes in one way or another. We should remember that life can change in a spilt second and make the most of everyday we have.
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 fly the flag after September 11th and we still are. My feelings about the flag have not really changed. I have always been proud of the American flag but I have become more aware of displaying it.
