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. A friend of mine from Indiana and I were on the phone and both had the FOX television station on. We watched the early events together while on the phone. It was strange that we both were tuned into the same netwrk at the same time. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Yes. My husband and I owned a video tape rental store. 9-11 killed our business and we had to sell our inventory at a substantial loss. We just divorced this week. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? That Americans take too much for granted. I think that most citizens believe whatever they are told and don't question the actions of our government. I think that the USA has it's fingers in way too many pots. There are places that we are not wanted in the world and we have no business being there. Why would anyone believe that we should be welcomed with open arms "everywhere"? It's foolish to believe that someone, someday would not retaliate. We should remeber the lives that were lost definitely. However, we should not loose sight of the reason that those lives were lost. 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? My family has always flown the flag. My now ex-husband was a former Marine and my son has been sworn in as a Marine and leaves for boot in October. I said the Pledge of Allegance as a child and can't believe that children are not allowed to say it in schools today. I put my hand over my heart when the flag goes by and remind anyone around me to do the same or remove their cap. The flag is a symbol of the freedom that we enjoy and a memorial to those that gave their lives for it. It has always been respected here.
