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 on my way to work that day and heard it on the radio. I thought it was an accident. Then I heard that another plane had crashed into the other tower. I knew then that this was not accident. I continued onto work and my fellow workers and I watched it on the television. When I saw that the governor had called up all the NY National Guard that I raced home to wake my husband. He had worked the night before and was sleeping. He is in the National Guard. He called his armory just as they were being notified to call everyone. We began to pack his clothing and then before I knew it he was driving away. My whole family was there holding me. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. It has definately changed. I am more alert living so close to a national border, I always am on the look-out for strange behavior and have no problem reporting it. I had a fifty dolloar bill with some Arabic writing on it so I telephoned the FBI. At first I was a little nervous about doing that but they were eager to get a look at it and thanked me for being observant. Thankfully it wasn't anything. But my confidence in the FBI was elevated that day. Now my husband is going off to the war on Terrorism and I am scared, but so proud of him. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think that it should always be held as a national day of remeberance. We should never forget what happened that day. I think that will be our most powerful weapon against terrorism. 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 put up the flag that day. Unfortunately, someone stole our flag but we went right out and bought another and hung it higher! I have always been taught to have a great respect for our flag and what it represents. FREEDOM!
