Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your story. I witnessed Septemeber 11th through the television. I had called my neighbor and she told me to turn on my TV right away. The first tower had been hit and she told me they didn't know if it was an acident or something else. When the second tower was hit I called my son's school to see if I should go pick him up. My husband was out of town that day and I couldn't reach him. I was very frightened. It was the longest day I have ever endured. When I finally reached him he told me that there was no way he could get back. All flights had been cancelled and there weren't any rental cars avalible. He finally found a rental car the next day and drove the 8 hours home. It was wonderful when our whole family was home. Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001.If so tell us. Yes. My life has changed in many ways. I think about it all the time and worry that my family will not be together if there is another attack. Living on the East Coast close to Washington D.C. makes me feel more vulnerable. I wonder if we would be safer living further away from so many military bases is safer or will we be a main target the next time? What do you think should be remembered about Setember 11th? The people. How many people died because of something they knew nothing about? They were punished because of someone else's beliefs. I also will remember the fear I felt. We as Americans take so many of our rights for granted. I think we should remember all the rights that we do 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 flew an American flag after September 11th. My feelings for our flag have not changed. Our family has always flown a flag on patriotic holidays. I think now we fly it more often. If you leave it up all the time it becomes a part of scenery and people don't look at it and get the same feeling. I am proud of being an American and thank God I live in the United States of America.
