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 at school in computer class. I saw on the TV a caption that read "Pentagon on Fire." I didn't know what the Pentagon was so I asked my friend. About an hour later I was in Geometry and on the TV a new caption read "World Trade Center hit by a plane." At first I thought that it was some sort of accident but then they announced a second plane hitting the other tower and I instantly knew this was no mistake. All day we were talking about it at school. I don't think that I actually knew they had collasped until I got home from school because some teachers had there TV's off so they could teach. It didn't really hit me at all until I got home to see my mom crying. I was so shocked and confused at all that happened and it is a day I will never forget. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Yes, definitely. Everyone's has. I think I am more patriotic and considerate of other people and I now sing the National Anthem with a whole new respect. I feel overwhelming blessed and lucky to live in such an amazing country as the United States of America. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Everything. The people who were on all of those planes and came to there death in such a terrifying way, the people who died in the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, the people who jumped from 100's of stories to their death because it was so unberable inside, the people who instantly came to the rescue, all of the firefighters, policemen, and paremedics who risked their lives and showed such great bravery and love for others. They put themselves first and I think they should be remembered the most. One thing I will never forget is the look on the people's faces as they were standing right there experiencing it all. 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 have to say I haven't flown the American flag since the incident but I can say that they all were in my prayers. My feelings have definetely changed about the American Flag. It makes you think about how lucky and blessed you are and it shows the great pride that this country holds.
