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 got up early the morning of Sept.11,still don't know why. I live on the west coast, so the time was very early here. I was watching local news when they broke away saying a plane had hit the WTC. We thought at first that it was a small plane that had drifted out of the flight plan. Then minutes later another plane hit the second tower. I awoke my children to come watch, called my husband on his cell, and sat and watched in horror.My neighbors and I continued to watch all day and into the night. We all had to go back to our own homes to be alone,the sorrow was overwhelming.My memory is still so vivid, it is almost as if time has stood still. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I am much closer to my family, and friends. I have become more anxious about the state of our nation and the state of the world. Most of my family lives in the midwest. I have been thinking of moving closer. You never know what may happen, and I want to be near them.I want to know my family and my neighbors again. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I would like for the people to be remembered. The diligence of the NY Police and Firefighters to find their own.The heros of flight 93, and the lives that all of these people touched. The patriotism that our great country has come to know again. We have so much to be thankful for, we just needed to find it 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? I did fly an American flag after the attacks, and still do. I am a baby boomer, and grew up with the Vietnam war. I was not what you would call patriotic. I did not trust our government, and had not since I was a child.I now belive that we have a great country, the best and would do what I can to protect it.
