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 work on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, When a friend of mine told me that an airplane had crashed into the World Trade Center. That it, at that time, was an accident. That's what we all thought, until the second plane crashed into the building. My heart sank. I will never forget that day. So many gave their lives that day, innocent people that never had a chance. They left families behind; husbands, wifes, children, and precious babies. Those babies and children will never know their fathers and mothers, except in pictures, and the words. I will never forget those whose lives were taken on September 11, 2001. Let us never forget the price of freedom. God Bless President and Mrs. George W. Bush. God Bless all the leaders of our country. Patricia D. Cagle NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Lives were changed that day forever, mine included. I no longer take life for granted. Life is precious. My children are so precious to me. My family is precious to me. I try to respect people more today. Treat people with kindness. We never know when our life will end. We have to treat each other with kindness. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? We should remember those who gave their lives that day. All heroes in one way or another. We should remember freedom, and the price at which it comes. We should remember those left behind, and the price they paid. 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 flown the American flag on many occassions, before and after September 11, 2001. I love and repect our flag. I always have and I always will. The flag is a symbol of freedom. My feelings have changed since September 11th. The flag is such a precious symbol of freemdom. I will always look to the flag as a symbol of hope, freedom, and the future.
