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 witnessed history by seeing the biggest attack on America in American history. I was in my tenth grade health class. We watched the news just after the first plane hit and we watched watched as the second plane slammed into the tower. We watched in awe as the towers came crashing down. I dont think any of us actually realized the magnitude of what had actually happened.We didn't realize how much damage had been done and how many lives had been lost. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has changed drastically since 9/11. My father is in the military and for alomost the past two years he has been away with the armed forces. I think that if the events of 9/11 hadn't happened the crisis in Iraq and in other middle eastern countries would not be as severe as they are. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? People should remember that America, although it is a great country, is just a country like any other. We are not invinceable and bad things can happen to this country. MAny tragedies happen every day in many other countries and many Americans are oblivious to this. They think that nothing can happen to this country becuase we are great and very powerful, but in reality, things can happen at any time. 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 house has always flown an American flag for as long as I can remember. Now we have a flag in the front yard and a red and white banner with a blue star on it hanging in our front window. I'm not sure my feelings to the flag have changed since 9/11. I have always seenthe flag as a symbol of this country, and that wont change. i feel more strongly for my country now, but my feelings for the flag are still the same.
