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 sixth grade,11 years old,I had just got into Social Studies class and my teacher Mrs.Harrington, turned on the news. I watched, horrified as the second building came crashing down. It just, fell. Like a giant hand came down from the sky and crushed it. I will never forget seeing all of those children crying for they're parents or grandparents. The thought of all those people who died, crushed, and burning, just like the towers will never leave me. At the time, my grandparents were vacationing close to D.C. I was worried about them. Were they all right? Luckily they had turned on the news to see the weather before they visited the White House and they saw the damage that had been done. They were unharmed. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Yes, I am more proud of America than I would have ever dreamed I could be before. Americans have been drawn closer together than ever because of what has happened, and the world has seen how generous America can be. But also, our country has been scarred forever. Security all over America will not let minor things pass ever again and Immigrants will be searched and searched again. Especialy ones from the Middle East. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? That it was a tragic day for everyone and America will never be the same. However, it has changed America for the better in some ways. Every person in America now realized that you have to be thankful for the things that really matter in life(like children, family, freedom)because in one fatal morning, it could all be gone. 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? Yes, I showed my patriotism and waved that American flag proudly for a long time after September Eleventh. I used to think that the American flag was simply a banner. I knew it was important but I didn't really think it was that great. I didn't really like to stand up and say the Pledge of Alleigance every day. It was just a decoration for the fourth of July. Now i realize that it is a symbol of hope, freedom, bravery, and all that America stands for. I say that pledge with a sense of pride as I remember that tragic morning in September.
