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 Art class in Stilwell Junior High School. While I was walking into the door for Art class the television was on. I was thinking that we were just watching some television to get ideas for us to draw, but then I saw it. I saw the airplane hit the World Trade Center. I was shocked. I didn't know if this was a movie or real. My teacher was very sad about this event. I was also very sad. I didn't think about school about the whole day. I was wondering what will go on now. Then all of the sudden the TV had a break news story, a plane has hit the Pentagon in Washington DC. A little later no would now that more was to come, a plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. September 11 has changed me. I felt like I needed to do something to help this country recover, help the United States become "the land of the free and the home of the brave" one more time. I am also taking pilots lessons and this event makes me want to complete the lessons and fly commercially some day. I will defend the lives of the people on my plane before I defend mine. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think September 11 should be remembered as the day the United States become one again. The day seemed like all of the US citizens became one and hoped for the best. We should remember all of the heroes that came from that day, all of the people who helped when they didn't need to. Those people were there. 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 haven't flown the flag any more than normal but I probably should have. I think that the flag shows a feeling of pride, respect, and peace, The flag to me is very important, it makes me feel special about where I live, where I was born. I think that I look at the flag now with more respect and feelings for those who fought and are fighting today to keep our country free and to give me the right to be in school telling you my feelings today.
