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. I was in 3rd period Spanish 3 when we heard the news at school. We didn't get to see pthe news, as it happened, and we had limited information because our school is very close to the Pentagon and many of us had loved ones there.When the principal announced that the Pentagon had been hit too I prayed because I knew people that worked there. Everyone I knew was okay. They allowed limited amounts of phone calls that day so I was very thankful I had acell phone and could call my parents to make sure everyone was okay. The school day went by kinda blurry and the bus ride home was shocking. There were no cars on the road and thats when it hit me. I cried all the way home. My parents were home when I arrived adn we all just sat glued to the television for the rest of the week. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life changed because I don't take everything for granted anymore. Alot of my friends from church were in the Marines and the Navy, so they were deployed. Every single one has made it back unharmed.I think I'm more cautious about what I say and do around people because I don't want to build up any hatred between races and cultures. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think we should remember the armed forces, firefighters, and police officers who risked their lives, and some lost them, to protect our Country. I also think we should remember each person lost in the attacks. 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? We have always flown an American flag outside of our home. My feelings have remained the same. I cherish the liberty it provides us and the freedom it protects. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
