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 awoke to a telephone call from my son Andrew in Los Angeles. He was agitated, and sounded scared. He told me to turn on the television, that New York had been attacked, and the terrorists were flying towards LA. He said he was not going to work. I spent the day watching television reports at work. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I have become sure that our own government had something to do with the attacks. All evidence has been confiscated, and the 9/11 Commission has been completely hampered from doing their jobs. Our president spent twenty minutes reading a child's book after learning of the deaths of three thousand people. No real evidence has been presented to confirm any airliner ever hit the Pentagon, other than a missle or commuter aircraft. A huge war was fought, under cloudy circumstances. The Patriot Act was forced upon our country, which has less to do with freedom than anyone ever could have imagined in our nation's history. I am interested to see how history treats us on this matter. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Power corrupts all. 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 flew no flag. The first vehicle I saw following 9/11 was on an immense SUV, who cut me off in commute traffic. I was rudely saluted by the young driver, who proceeded to do the same to other drivers. I am a proud American, and a patriot. I don't hide behind a flag. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
