1.Where were you when you witnessed history on September 11, 2001? PLease share yopur experiance.
I first learned of the catastrophe while driving down Interstate 264 on my way to work. I talked to my wife, who was at home and saw the events unfold on television. I then went to a hotel near my office to see televison for myself, which is where I saw the buildings collapse. It was the most shocking, appaling event that I had ever seen and it was the saddest day of my life.
2.Has your life changed since September 11th?
As my life has changed, my belief in my fellow man has been degraded. I am suspicious of more people than ever, and I worry about the future of this country and our world and particularly for my daughter.
3. What do you think should be remembered about September 11th?
What should be remembered about September 11th is that never again can we rest easy and feel as secure as we did, knowing that there are people in the world that are as evil as those who commited this act.
4. Did you fly an American flag after the event? How have your feelings changed?
We flew a number of flags around the house and do so from time to time. My reverence for the flag of the United states has increased.
Thank for your time.
Your welcome.
