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 witness to the events of Sepember 11th via my local television station. I am a special education teacher and was preparing for my day. While copying some material in the office, one of my co-workers called and I happened to answer the phone. She said "Did you see? A plane just hit the Trade Center". I turned on the television to see the disaster and was witness to the second plane hitting the second tower. I remember praying immediately, praying for survivors and thinkng "How could this happen on such a beautiful day?". NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. There is an uncertainty to every day, a feeling of discomfort that I feel. I worry that my 7 year old daughter will not be able to enjoy the same kind of "fearless" childhood that I did. I am more grateful for my country, my freedom, those who selflessly give their lives in daily duty. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think we should remember the courage of those who were involved in the rescue and how fast our great country responded to this tragedy. Living about an hour south of NYC, I was witness to so many ordinary people just getting in their cars and going to help immediately after without regard to consequenses. It was overwhelming. 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 my flag as a sign of solidarity and perhaps defiance to the terrorists, but I do not think that flying the flag has alot to do with patriotism. The American Flag is an important symbol, but patriotism is in your heart. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
