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 eating lunch with my 7th grade lunch study, and my friends were talking about what happened. I didn't know even what they were talking about until the next period when my math teacher had the TV on. I didn't know about it before, because my previos teachers didn't put on the TV and I guess they didn't want us to know about it. My Math teacher had it on anyway, so I got to see the tape of what happened. Then, I was just in shock; I'd never seen anything like it, and i hope to never see anything like it again. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life hasn't changed much, except now I'm a little more patriotic and I pray more. Before I go to sleep, I pray for God to protect us and keep us safe from harm. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think what should be remembered about 9/11 is the fact that the United States became closer together. Now, we all wear more red white and blue, and we put up more flags. We care more about the lives of others than our own. We shouldn't remember what was lost, but what was gained. There were people in that one plane that risked their lives for our country. That should be remembered. We shouldn't remember the confusion, or poor dissions that were made, but the fact that we are still standing strong. Sure, we have to remember the bad stuff so that it won't happen again. Of couse' everyone should remember that the big bad US fought back and "we light up their world like the fourth of July," because we don't want history to repeat itself and maybe this time WWIII will start. We don't want that to happen. We should remember it like a scraped knee on the USA; we were hurt, we had our cry, but now we are standing tall again, and the event is just a scar. 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 didn't fly an American flag on the 11th because ny family doen't own a flag or a flag pole, but my dad put fags on his car windows. My feeling for the flag haven't changed because to me it still means pride, honor, and freedom.
