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 working in a real estate office in Clarksville, Indiana. A friend called and said to turn on the TV a plane had just hit the World Trade Center. Our broker was on a flight from Louisville to Phoenix at the time the planes hit the WTC. The rest of the day was spent glued to the TV and trying to find our broker. I was in shock. I was terrified of what might happen next. I prayed for God's protection on our country and my family. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My husband, a major in the Army Reserve, was put on duty by lunch time on September 11th. He eventually was placed on a team responsible for securing Fort Knox and the surrounding communities from terrorist acts. From that position he moved into his current position as Directorate of Plans and Mobilization at Fort Knox. He travels alot and works in a classified area. Both of our sons are in the military. I worry that they may get sent somewhere. September 11th has impacted our family greatly. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? That hate never wins. That all men are created equal. We cannot judge another by his religion or color of his skin. The terrorists were full of hate and prejudice. We must not let ourselves become like that. There is no one on this earth that God does not love. We should also remember those who gave their lives for others and for our country. We have many brave men and women in our armed forces who do a difficult job sometimes in terrible circumstances and are greatly underpaid. We owe them our respect, honor and gratitude. The firemen, policmen and other emergency people who responded and the civilians who responded to the terror stikes. Many gave their lives for friends and strangers alike. 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, still do. I have always felt a deep love for the flag. I tear up anytime I see the flag in a parade or other type of procession. I have great pride for our flag and what it stands for. God Bless the USA.
