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. When the tragic events of Setember 11th occured i was in my 10th grade english class. Our principal came running into the room and told us to turn the TV on to the news. When we turned the TV on, we were horrified by what was happening. On live TV we watched the second plane crash into the towers. It was something I will never forget. No one knew what to think or what to do. We all just sat in our seats, frozen by what had happened. All day we watched things unfold. Everyone was so afraid because we had never seen something like this happen so close to us. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has change because of September 11, 2001. Every summer I fly from Massachusetts to Washington and it is the craziest thing trying to get through security and all of the metal detectors without missing your flight. It has limited what you can bring on a plane. It also stopped both of my parents from seeing onto the plane. When I leave my father's house, my step-mom has to stay in the waiting area while my dad takes me to the gate. My life also changed when I tried to get a new social security card. I was born in Germany and that's what the person saw on my birth certificate, so they put "unable to work without INS authorization". I had to get another card. if they left that I would have trouble getting jobs and getting into college. The attack stopped our class trip to New York for almost 2 years afterward, and it didn't feel the same when we went. I also have friends that are in either the ARMY or AIR FORCE and they had to move or go over seas because of the fighting. I hate it because it's scary to think about someone that you care about being in a situation like that. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think people should remember the people to risked their lives trying to save other people. I also think that people should not think that something like that can't happen to us. 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 after the events of September 11th. I don't think that my feelings about the flag have changed since then. I never really thought about it before, so why would I now. If people only put them up because of what happened, that's stupid. If they were really so proud of their country and wanted people to know, they would have had a flag up before.
