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 making breakfast for my two youngest daughters and their father. He had decided to take the day off that day to have family time........ He was siting on the couch flipping through the channels and stopped at The Today Show..... within minutes after sending my oldest daughter off to school, not having my family together, our worlds collieded and collapsed. We, my husband and I, sat and watched in HORROR as the first plane crashed, then the second and then the Pentagon..... It will be a day that lives in my mind forever. I called he school to make sure that my oldest was "blind" to all that had occured, you see her greatgrandmother, grandmother and aunt were overseas and her biological father a member of the military..... I needed to protect her and couldn't. She had overheard the radio outside the teachers lounge, she called home sobbing I asked if I would come and get her from school. As any good parent would, I did. So many questions that I couldn't give her an answer for. Many still unanswered a year later.......... All we want to know is why? NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Yes- I am more aware as to what is going on around me. Maybe paranoid is more the word, but we are trying to live, making everyday count. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Everything...... The fear, furry, fading.... Scurrying to make everything right again 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 an American flag prior to 9*11 and continue to do so now Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
