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 am Angela Ortino, and when I came home from school my sister was watching the news. I sat down to see what she was watching. Then, that's when i saw the toweres go down. I didnt know what happened really. I couldnt stop watching the news because I wanted to know why someone would ever do this. I ended up watching the news for an hour and a half. I talked to my sister about what happened. She was as amazed as I was to find out that some country would destroy this nation and impact the world. Nothing seemed to hit me until later that night. I never thought that this would cause war and poeple to have to live through this the rest of their lives. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has changed in the smallest amount. I see our country as more than freedom, but as my home and heart. Some poeple might live in fear of what may come in the years to come, but I see people coming together trying to beat this war. I feel proud to be in the USA. I hope that some how other poeple can see how this tome has brought us togther, but it has also brought us into fear. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think that everything sould be remebered about it. This day was the worst. people became heros, people died, and people never know what will happen to our country after this day. I remember the shows that came on showing the posters of all the poeple that were missing. People crying about thier loved ones hurt me. This country has to go through a war because of another country. I think that we should remember the strangers that were on the planes that tried to help each other along the way. We should remember the way that people felt sad and terrified when they saw the news, and the way people ran away from the debris. Never have I thought that I would be alive when another war broke out. We should remember how safe we did feel. All in one day, everything that we knew and loved was taken away. 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 not hang a flag up outside my house, but when i saw flags i thought about this day. I see the way this nation stands. I don't see the flag any less than before. I feel that everytime something bad happens to us, we always remember how so many poeple lost their lives for this country. I am proud to say that I am an American!
