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 first learned what was happening on September 11 when I walked into my 2nd period freshmen history classs.Everyone one was up and around the classroom talking to eachother about what they did last night, you know just the usual morning gossiop.Our teacher was out in the hallway greeting the students as they came in. Someone ran by our room and shouted "the World Trade Center were hit!" Our teacher ran in the room and turned on the t.v. that's when my class got their firt but deffintly not last chance to witness what happened. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. After September 11 I realized how lucky Americans actually are. We have all the freedom in the world and we take so much of it for granted and the things we don't take for granted we abuse. I now try to be more grateful for things that I might have pushed a side before. I'm more respectful to my teachers and I know cherish the time I spend with my friends and family because I realize how quickly they can be taken away from me. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think that we should remember not only the victims in the Trade Centers but also the ordinary people who lost their lives to save others. People who were walking by on the street and ran to help. The firemen and police volunteers that came to the rescue when they were needed. They could have very well just stood by and watched the horror but instead they ran inside it to help others. I think they should were the real heros and they should never be forgotten. 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 did fly the American flag after September 11, and I was a little embrassed because it took an horrfic event such as September 11 to make my family put one out. Yes, my feelings toward the flag have changed. I have more proud for it and I respect it more. I now actually say the Pledge instead of just standing and looking at the flag.
