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 happened to turn on the news that morning as Matt Lauer and Katie Couric were talking about a plane hitting the first tower. As Matt Lauer was talking the second plane hit. It was then an awful realization hit that America was under attack. My daughters and I were watching in disbelief as this was happening. How can anyone say this is justice, that thousands of innocent people are murdered? Unfortunately for those who caused the attacks, it only made our resolve stronger and made us love our country more. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I now live in fear. We hear such ominous messages that America will fall and we haven't seen the last of the attacks on America. I know more attacks will happen and it leaves me with fear and dread for my children and grandchildren. What kind of world are they inheriting? But I have not changed how I live my life. I still do the same things in the same ways, but I am more scared of flying. It is terrible to live with constant fear that something will happen - wondering if you or your loved ones will be the next victims. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? That what happened brought out the very best in America. That we showed the world what America is made of. That we ARE a land of freedoms - freedoms that we were attacked for but will protect ever more. Because our freedoms, resolve, and spirit ARE what make us America. 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 always had an American flag. I do look at the flag differently now, because everytime I look at it, I see September 11th, not the civil war, or world war one or two, but September 11th, because that is the loss and sacrifice I associate with as an American. And it makes me proud of who I am. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
