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 a freshman student, just beginning to experience all the new experiences of high school, when on September 11th, the world changed. I was the first one to enter my second class of the day, when I noticed my teacher was acting a little unusual - he was staring at the TV monitor with a blank look. Wondering what the deal was, I glanced up, and held my gaze in shock. There, immortally framed within the recesses of my mind, was an image that will stay with me forever. There glared the timeless New York City skyline over the bay - in flames. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Besides the obvious psychological effects of the people around me, a multitude of changes existed in the aftermath of 9/11. For a while, the security of our great nation was shaken. Airports closed, people viewed each other with wary eyes, and even the security at the Power Plant where my father worked was increased. Life changed dramatically, sometimes profoundly, sometimes more subtly. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? As the dust clears at Ground Zero, and a thousand dreams were shattered - As tireless workers work into the night to save the lives of people they had never met - As people turn and pull their loved ones a bit closer tonight- We are a nation. 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? We flew a flag in the aftermath of 9/11, as did almost all of our friends and neighbors. I believe more in the strength of our country's flag, not as a symbol, but more as an emotion of unity keeping the fabric of American society together despite conflicting views.
