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, PA House of Representatives, when someone came into the office and said, "Turn on the TV, the WTC has been bombed or something." As the other ladies in the office and I watched we saw the horror of the second plane hitting the building and then the Pentagon. We were sent home and as I called family just to say "I love you" the reality sunk in as we sat and watched hour after grueling hour when the towers came crashing down. My family and I visit DC often, we pass the Pentagon from time to time, just to look, and that plane hit that spot that we often look at...too close to home, I thought. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. It is difficult to explain to children that you cannot hate everyone that looks different, especially when they are old enough to watch, listen and hear the pain and sadness taking place up and down the east coast. September 11 has taught me to listen to my kids and their questions. It has taught me to take time and care in answering those questions. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? That our country has weaknesses. That we need to turn to God and stay with our eyes focused on him, he will help us all through our trials, angers, fears and pain. We should remember that tomorrow could be our last so live each day like it's the last day you will love each person in your life, like it's the last day you'll share a special moment in your life with that special someone. And cherish those moments, steal some quite time each day to reflect with God on your life and ways to live and love better. 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, and I wore one. My husband was in the Navy for 4 years...I think that brought it all home after September 11th. I appreciate those colors, ONE NATION UNDER GOD means something too.
