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. Our Family had flown to the Bahamas to celebrate our daugther's tenth birthday. We had planned to fly home the morning of the 11th.As my wife was finishing packing she watched the first aircraft strike the Tower. My daugther and I walked in just as the second aircraft hit. We where all shocked. However, since we both are employed in the Airlines Industry, we realized this was not a mistake. As a Flight Attendant my wife had flown to and from New York many times. She stated that that was not a normal course. Our hearts and prayers went out to those trapped and helpless. Also to the emergency response personnel trying to save them. The people of Grand Bahama went out of their way to comfort and reassure us. But walking outside that day and seeing nothing in the sky was frightening. It was simply not normal. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. We have learnt to speak with our hearts to those we love. We don't take anyone or anything for granted anymore. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? That as a nation we rallied back stronger than ever. That we all gave our hearts to help those who needed us. That we will NEVER FORGET what was done. And how so many hero's came forward 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? We have always flown the flag on holidays so our feelings have not changed, except that we are even more greatful than ever that we are American Citizens.
