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 in my classroom getting ready for our team meeting. I turned on my television and saw the report on CNN. I was horrified to see the first tower that has hit and watched in disbelief as the second one was attacked. It seemed surreal to me, that it couldn't really be happening. Right away I wondered how we, as teachers could possibly know how to calm the fears of our students when our own fears were burgeoning. Somehow, we did find a way, and our school pulled together to offer a tribute to the heroes and the victims of that horrible day. In the aftermath of the attacks, I fully realized just how fragile peace is and how lucky I am to live in a country where people do pull together to support each other. I also came to fully appreciate the sacrifice that our ancestors made to ensure that we live in this country and not one where tyranny rules. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I think I have become even closer to my church and my belief and that I need to work even harder to be a part of an effort for tolerance and peace in the world. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think we should all remember that we are a nation of one, and that those who served that day in any capacity showed all of us just what patriotism is all about -- that we do have a duty to others and that we need to do what it takes to make certain that our fellow countrymen will continue to live free. 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? Not only did I fly the flag after the events, I had it flying high and proud before that and continue to do so today.
