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. As I was awoken by my crying mother on the morning of September 11th, she told me what had happened to the World Trade Center. Most of my family lives in New York and my mother didn't know what had happened to them because the phone lines weren't working....We were all so worried. My mother took me to school and the whole time at school i couldn't stop thinking about my family and especially my Great-grandmother who lives by herself in Manhattan. As watching the buildings fall and innocent people jumping out of the buildings, so much hate filled my mind, how could somebody do this. Killing innocent people, just because they are jealous of what we have. That day at school was the worst day ever. Everybody was in shock the whole day. I was so in shock that i didn't say anything the whole day. Thank God that my great-grandmother wasn't harmed physically. But she was harmed mentally...she could not stop crying for days, she witnessed the people jumping out of the building. To this day she still is always upset. Another relative was in his second grade class as he witnessed what had happened. So many of my family members were effected from this. This event has affected everybody so much. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has changed so much. It has showed me how much we should appreciate our country and not take things for granted. It has also affected me because of my family members and what they had to go through in New York. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think that people need to remember not to take anything for granted. Also, all the innocent people that were killed will always be remembered and how brave they were. We can never forget all of the fireman and all of the people that helped at ground zero. If it wasn't for them more lives would have been lost 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 did fly an American flag after the events. I have so much more respect for America. We are so lucky to have such a patriotic country that we have. God bless!!!! Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
