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 wittnessed September 11th when was in 6th period and al of a sudden we were told to turn on the news and it said that the World Trade Centers had just been attacked by suicidal hijackers. it just so happened to be my friend's birthday so everybody was giving her a hard time. It wasn't that big a deal to me at first but when I realized how many lives had been taken and how many hearts were broken I felt really bad and I wanted to cry. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Yes. I feel uncomfortable around all this security. It makes me feel like we can't even trust our own people and if we can't rust our own people then who can we trust? Do we really have allies in this war on terrorism? And if we do then maybe we should be more trusting to our great citizens who trust us with their lives. And another thing, why didn't we try to stop terrorism before? Why is it just now becoming a big issue? It should have been stopped even before it happened to us because now it is out of control and we don't know who is doing it. It is always easy to accuse people, but it is not right. We need to know for sure before we go around shouting,"KILL OSAMA!" or "KICK OSAMA'S BUTT!" We need all the facts before we endanger an innocent man's life. It is America's way to give everybody the right to be innocent until proven guilty and we have evidence but no strong, sound evidence stating that he did it. We ruled out eerybody else just because they say they didn't but he also said he didn't. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think that all the volunteers should be remembered because they are putting their life on hold just so they can help save lives and I think that that deserves some sort of huge recognition. 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? No, I didn't fly a flag but my feelings have changed about the American flag. I think it is stronger and prouder than ever because this tradgedy has brought our country together and everybody is lending a helping hand and uniting to help save lives.
