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 was home that morning working on my computer. I was going to go out to lunch with my mother because 9/11 is my birthday. I was watching the "Today Show" when the switched over to the Twin Towers when the first tower was already hit. While watching the first tower, the second plane was hit the south tower. I told my mother to switched to the news to watch it because we were expecting my step father in from Germany that day. We were worried because we didn't hear from him until that night. He got as far as Greenland before the plane was turned around back to Germany. My mother and I watched the news for the rest of the day for complete coverage of the various events unfolding. That day I was getting messages from friends from other states because they heard that a plane went down in Pennsylvania. They weren't sure how close the plane was to me but it was on the opposite side of the state. It was nerve racking being in Philadelphia because of the location of New York City and Washington DC. It was like being in a terror triangle. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. It made me more patriotic and apreciated my freedom more then I did before hand. It showed how jealous people can be when they don't understand the privaliges we have in this country. It's sometimes sad how people were on a band wagon then and now they totally forgot that day NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think we should remember all those fire fighters and police who gave thier lives in trying to save those people in the towers. Also, the people who died in the towers and hope they never die in vain. 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? At my house we flew a flag before 9/11 and still do. I bought a flag pin and have worn it everyday since on my collar. I love the flag even more then I did before hand Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
