Title A name given to the resource "September 11: Bearing Witness to History" Stories Submitted Online Description An account of the resource Visitors to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History's, "Bearing Witness to History" online exhibition submitted these reflections beginning in 2002. NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. We live in Hawaii, so we were asleep when everything happened. I was awakened by my mother calling from Florida, screaming in the phone that the world was ending! Not being coherent, she told me to go turn on the TV. So, my husband and I staggered into the living room and turned on CNN. We were in shock! I continued to stand there at the TV, while my husband went back to bed. I followed him and accused him of having no heart. He replied that he wanted to sleep a few more minutes before he was called into work. Sure enough, the phone rang 20 minutes later. My husband went to work and I didn't see him for three days. As you see, he is stationed on the USS Charlotte, a nuclear submarine. As for me, I sat in front of the TV for the nex two days, crying and hugging my son. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I cherish the time I spend with loved ones! I never forget to let those I love know how I feel. I feel an ache in my heart that I don't think will ever heal. I also feel an anger in my soul for those who did this. I have a greater sense of pride for my husband, a sailor in the US Navy, and those like him that are willing to give of their own lives to protect this great country and her citizens. I have a greater respect for the police and fire departments for what they do for everyone. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? That no matter how you try to destroy the United States, we will not be broken! I think we should remember those lost and the bravey of those who died trying to save others. No matter what our differences are, we are citizens of the United States of America and we will not be broken! NMAH Story: Flag 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, I flew the flag and continue too! I was taught to respect this great symbol and what it represents. I want everyone to know where I am from and that I am proud of it! Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
