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 didn't hear about it when it first happened. During that time, I was taking 3 buses to get to school and didn't listen to any media sources while preparing for the day. My first bus transfer was at the LAX bus stop. When I got onto the second bus, a fellow passenger had her walkman on and was saying that planes had crashed into WTC and the Pentagon. When I heard the news, I was scared, since I knew the Pentagon was well-protected (so I thought). During the rest of the day, I checked the internet for updated news. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I'm more aware of my surroundings. Whenever I go out of my hometown, I always make sure my family and close friends know my complete itinerary. This includes my travel plans to and from the airport. Before, I wouldn't be detailed. I am more knowledged of current events. I make sure people are not stereotyped for what they look like. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? All the people who died that day should be remembered. They were innocent victims, especially the children. They did not deserve to die by doing their normal routines. We should also remember the national pride we had, so that we may continue to have that pride. 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 didn't own an American flag at that time. I showed my pride vocally. I think the events strengthened what the American flag means to me. It's not just a flag, but OUR flag.
