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 sitting in Scripture class talking about some biblical story, I can't remember which one. I remember our VPSA coming onto the loud speaker and saying two planes had struck the WTC in "an apparent terrorist attack". I didn't think much of it because those are big buildings and I figured that enough people would get out in time. When I heard planes, I assumed small Cessnas, I didn't think terrorists had the capacity to get large airliners. Third period my view changed however, when my friend told me the towers fell down. I didn't know what to think. First I felt mad that so many Americans were losing their lives in such a senseless act of violence. Then I felt worried, as to whether more attacks would happen. I promised myself from that day on that I would be more aware of the gifts the United States have given me and I have tried to ever since. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Yes. Now I am much more thankful that I have all the freedoms the U.S. gives to me. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? The unity we all felt that day. 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. Now, I see it with much more respect.
