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. Being a former worker at the Pentagon and feeling that massive structure shake like it was just in an earthquake, seeing the ball-of-fire come over the window and feeling the air being sucked out of the bldg for a split second and then knowing that this not a drill and someone has decided to play God on that is an experience no one would want to experience or witness. There is not enough words in the English dictionary to explain the range of emotions one is feeling. From being lucky to get out to know that there are the very people that you work with, pass in the hall, have lunch with, ride the subway home with, that are no longer here to enjoy, the everyday things that I myself took for granted, but no longer due. Seeing the news flashs, waking up in the middle of the night for the next week crying, knowing how close to the point of impact of that plane hitting the pentagon that I was is beyond description. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has changed considerabley, I have gotten a new job. Let's stress, in the sense of little things that use to irrate me no longer due. Taking life for what it is. Just living, enjoying life. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? What should be remembered is that It made the Baby Boomer Generation realized that the things that our Parent, Grandparents, Great-Grand Parents, fought for we should hold fast to and continue to fight. Nothing should be taken for granted. We should prepare our children for what may be yet to come. 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?
