Oster writing his thoughts
Where were you on 9/11/01?
I had just woken up and was trying to find our phone (back in the day we didn't have cell phones) so I push the button to make the phone beep (does that make sense) and my roommate Mel came in the front door (she had the phone and was at our neighbors watching the twin towers on tv) and she told me. We didn't own a tv, so we went next door to our neighbors to watch it all unfold. 
At the exhibit, you can write down your memories of 9/11 and pin them to the wall.
This is my friend Rachel reading some of the comments.
I brought both of my boys to the museum and they were wild! But while we walked through this 9/11 exhibit, they were surprisingly good. It's almost like they sensed there was a reverence in this area.
Just every day objects, like a clock on the wall, a tin of coins, the airplane window cover, and a cell phone, have now become part of history.

It's weird to think that my boys will never know a world where we don't have to be concerned about terrorism.
