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. What I've witnessed is that when some T.V. show are supposed to come on, thay show news instead. This is a way to keep parents and others updated on the issue. My mother has been more protective of herself when driving, taking planes or anything. As a matter of fact, my mom took a plane to Illinois for work and I told her to call me at home when she got to the airport,when she got on the plane, and when she got to Illinois. When she was coming home I told her to do the same to do the same thing. Well, my mom said the plane had door checkers for your clothes and in your personal belongings.My mom was very over protective of leaving me at home by myself, so she called me everyday in Illinois. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. September 11th was a day of pain for many families. Loved ones and friends were lost. Workers and people for the communities were lost. Many people get the feeling that god takes people away for hatred, but he doesn't. He takes them away because its their time to come home. Many peoples' lives have changed and so did mine a littl but not much. Now my mom watches more news than she did before and is trying to be updated with everything.On television we watch the reports on the terroist attack and we seem to be closing in on Osama if he's even alive. All my friends and I have been overprotected by our parents about being out by ourselves because anything could happen. I can see the way of some families have had their emotions touched. so they know they are truly blessed to have another day on this earth. Why?, Because they might have not woken up this morning. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? What we should remember are the honest people who were on the Twin Towers and the reason why this problem started. Thousands of honest people had their lives stolen. We should remember to wave the flag proudly. The landmark of Ground Zero still remains and is in the process of rebuilting. But the first Towers will still be in America;s heart. Two things we need to remember is to bless each day on this earth because we could die anytime. We are united as one in this country and some of our people were taken from us. So there is still pain that is left inside. But we will press forward in memory of those who died. 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 the American Flag after September 11th. The flag should have much meaning to all people but only if they accept it in their hearts. No, my feelings have remained the same. I am supportive of my country, strong, bold, united, and I am one with the cland. My flag will always be true to me as I am to it. The flag is the symbol of who we are, and who I am. I pledge myself to my country of America. And to everyone for which it stands. I stand in one nation, under God, and Indivisible, for liberty and justice for all. If any person can't say the pledge like it really means something to them, they need to because we are one.
