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. On the mourning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001 I was sitting quitely in Social Studies class when my teacher read aloud something off of the internet. He tried to explain to us that there was a rumor about a plane hitting a building in New York City. He wasn't sure if the rumor was true or not. We discussed the topic a little and then the bell rang. It was time to go to our next class. I was walking down the hallway when I heard a television on. I entered my next class and the television was on. I knew it had to be something about the rumor of the plane in New York City. Like I predicted, it was. This so called rumor was actually turning out to be the real thing. Then out of the corner of the screen I saw another object zooming through the screen. It was another airplane. I was frozen in my shoes. I couldn't believe what was just happening. My teacher was crying along with a few other classmates. Then my terror turned into anger. I was furious! NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has not changed dramatically since September 11, 2001. I flew on an airplane for the first time in June of 2002. I didn't know what to expect. I was sure that there wasn't going to be anything wrong, though. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I believe that the heroic firefighters not only in New York but in Washington and in Pennsylvania should definetly be remembered. How many people would risk there lives to save people in such a hazard as the firefighters on September 11 did? Could you imagine running up a flight of stairs while thousands of people were rushing down them screaming and yelling about how horrible it was up 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? Not only did my family fly an American flag after September 11, we flew one before then also. My feelings on the American flag are simple. I believe it stands for the American past, present and future. The American flag could stand for our dignity as a country or our passion for our country.
