Kermuth H.

was in Buffalo, NY on 9/11/01.

My husband and I were home. My husband called me over to watch the TV as the buildings caught on fire and collapsed into rubble within minutes. I was shocked and in disbelief for days. So many people died and I could not understand why. It makes me so sad.

A generation of Americans has no memory of 9/11. Stories like Kermuth's help them remember.

At the Gary Sinise Foundation, we're preserving the stories of those who experienced it so they can be shared with generations to come. We must never forget the pain we endured, the heroism we witnessed, or the togetherness we felt.

Your story is part of our history. Will you share it?
