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. It started like most any other morning. I had finished my 11-7 work shift at our local nursing home and was reading the paper--savoring a cup of strong, black coffee with the tv mumbling softly in the background. My consciousness was redirected to a breaking news story--a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center---and I watched the activity unfold trying to imagine the panic, fear, and tragedy of the event those immediately involved must be experiencing---and, then, a second plane----------?????? My mind started to race---TWO planes hitting the Towers??? This COULDN'T be merely an unfortunate "accident"----I watched as Firemen, Policemen and regular "Joes" raced to help and was horrified when the first, then the second Tower, fell as rescuers tried to help--Then the Pentagon and Pa---Disbelief, fear, confusion and horror replaced my usual complacent demeanor. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Like many of us, I have been more reflective, taking time to savor moments, family, friends. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Of course, the horror of it all probably is, initially, most striking but, a year later, I recall the stories of those who helped, the incredible courage of the firemen, policemen, municipal employees, the public outpouring of national grief, support and pride. 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? I have routinely flown the Flag, but, certainly, after September 11th, seeing it waving proudly from my porch is comforting in a new way.
