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. Waking up in the morning as usual I see my dad holding my mother in his arms. The first plane had hit the Twin Towers and the news announcer was repeating what had happened. Then the camera turned live to the towers anda few minutes later on live television the second plane hit the Tower. All of my family was shocked at the sight of the plane hitting the Twin Towers. My feelings towards the people inside were sadness and at the same time mad. Mad beacuse the people inside had no chance to get out and that the terrorist had planned this disaster so perfectly. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has changed in minor ways such as my mom driving us to school everyday, my parents protecting me more, and I have become more aware of my surroundings where ever i go. Each time I see an airplane in the sky I worry that that airplane might crash somewhere in the city or that terrorists have taken control of the airplane and plan to do evil things. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? The things that should be remembered about September 11th is the unity, suffering, and the overcoming of this horrible event in U.S. history. The unity of our firefighters, policemen, and volunteers helping the cause of rescuing people that were victims of the crash. The coming together of people in the U.S. I also think that the tragedy and the suffering should be remembered to show that the United States of America now is trying to protect all of its citizens even more since the attacks of September 11th. 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 did fly an American flag to show my American honor and also to show respect to the people that were killed in the terrorists attacks. My feelings towards the American flag have changed; I personally rise my flag to show terrorist around the world that although they did strike the U.S. and killed many people today we the people are more united thean ever.
