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 Budapest Hungary, and received a phone call from my older brother [Austin] at about 5 in the afternoon. The call didn't concern me, but I was interested in the response my dad was giving to Austin's conversation. My dad was saying, "get outta here....Austin quit playing around...You're saying that america has been attacked?....and this isn't some movie you just watched?...alright alright I'll turn on the news......now? alright, hold on.." I ran down the stairs to see the news, and I laughed, because I thought that Austin was just joking around. My dad was silent, everyone seemed to be able to interpret the meaning of what was going on but me. Heading to school the next morning, I kept questioning what had just occured. At school it was the only talk, but there was no fear of anything. The Hungarians were very solemn the next day, and it felt like a wave of depression has swept over the area. There was a notice given to my school ICSB [International School of Budapest], "All American schools are to take extra precautions." Our school quickly equipped a new security system which each student had to punch in before entering the building. The day passed.....and now years have passed.....remember 9/11 NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I frequently travel from continent to continent, and the security has been extremely "up tight." Everyone is taking their greatest precautions. I have even been placed in a different plane, because an american would not ride on a plane with a middle eastern person. Life has changed drastically, America now lives in fear. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? September 11th should not only be recognized as a day of terrorist strikes. Because if Americans remember the terrorists every year on september 11th the terrorists have accomplished something. It should be a day to remember when America came together to cry for the lives that were lost. 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? no. no.
