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 saw the events on TV. I was in class. Another teacher asked if she could speak to my teacher. After they were done, my teacher came in the room and turned on the TV. One of the towers were already hit. Shortly afterwards, the other tower was hit. After about an hour passed, the towers crumbled. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life changed drastically. Before September 11, I knew everyone had to die sometime. September 11 made me realize that it can be sooner than one thinks. This tragedy also helped me to try to be as nice to people as I can. Overall, I think that this tragic event has made me a better person, unfortunately at the cost of many honest peoples' lives. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think everyone should remember the brave people in the planes that knew they were going to crash and fought the hijackers so other people wouldn't get hurt. The firefighters, policemen, and volunteers that risked their lives, some of them losing their life, to save anyone they could. I also think that something that should be remembered is God. He saw this coming. Why do you think the buildings weren't as full as they usually were? Why do you think the planes weren't as full as they would have been because of last minute cancellations? Why were most of the people saved? The answer to all these questions is God. 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 flew an American Flag after 9-11.I now see the flag as more than just some fabric flapping in the wind. I see the flag as a symbol of freedom, of unity, of victory. The flag is more than red, white, and blue. At's for the people fighting the terrorists and freedom, the heroes that lost their lives trying to save one more life, the nation pulling together. The flag isn't a peice of fabric, it's who we are. It's symbolic of who what we are. The flag is more than just a flag. It's US. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
