Were you personally, or do you know someone who was personally, present at a famous historical event?
My husband’s grandfather stormed the beaches at Normandy on D-Day.
My high school history teacher was protesting at Kent State University during the shooting. She still can’t stand to see the colours red and green together without having flashbacks.
My father was on Transit duty on Manhattan during 9/11. He was just a few months away from retiring from the NYPD. (to be fair, I don’t know what part of Manhattan he was working in at the time)
What personal connection do you have with history?
