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. When i got in the car on the morning of September 11th my friend david told me what had happened. I never watch the news in the morning so i had no idea. When he said it i was not sure what he was talking about. I didn't really know what he meant. My first recation to hearing about 2 airplanes running into the world trade center buildings didn't seem like it was real. At first i thought he was just joking, but when i arrived at school i soon knew that he was not joking. Everyone was talking about it; it seemed that i was the only one who didn't know what was going on. It was scary to think of all the people in the building that perished that day. We listened to it on the radio in my 2nd period class, my teacher didn't think it was a good idea to watch it. Some of the kids in the class thought it was just a big joke. They were making fun of how all the people were just jumping out of the buildings. I was so mad at them. I was just to upset to do anything about it though. I later watched it after football practice that day, and i learned how terrible the crime really was. It was so sad. It still affects me today. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Yes it has. It shows me how lucky i am to live in this country. And that i dont have to live in a country like Iraq or afghanistan. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think the people that persihed should be remember also the people that risked their lives to try and save those who perished. Everyone who made an effort to help that day should be remembered. 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 i have flown an American flag after the events. We didn't have a flag holder in the front of my house before the events happened. I would never fly a flag. But after the tradgedy happened me and my dad put up a flag holder and are now still flying the American flag. My feeling have changed very much so. I feel so proud to be an American now more than ever. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
