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. On the morning of September 11, 2002, I was in a school classroom. All was normal that day until a teacher interrupted class saying "Something bad just happened, something bad just happened!'" We turned on the television just as the second plane hit the tower. My first and only reaction to it all was one of disbelief. It all seemed like a movie or some sick joke. As the morning wore on and we learned of the attacks on the Pentagon, we all watched in awe. The entire day and night was spent watching the news. I guess it was in anticipation of some great survival story, but they were few and far between. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I beleive my life has changed since September 11, 2001. I don't feel as comfortable flying in planes or even being at large sporting eventws. I feel like some sense of security has been taken away from me. I am now even prouder than ever to be an American. Before the attacks, I didn't know how good we really have it and now i can better understand how good it really is here in America. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I belive that the most important thing that should be remember about September 11th is how we all made it through. That day, in all of America, although devastated, everybody was willing to lend a helping hand. Whether people helped by actually going to ground zero and searching through the debris or if they just lent a listening ear, everybody was a helper. I think the world should remember not only the lives lost, but the incredible story of how an entire nation came together as one. 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, like many Americans, bought a flag on Septermber 12th. Since then we have proudly displayed it outside of our home. Prior to the attacks, I thought that the flag just symbolized the U.S. as a country. Now i feel that the flag is a symbol fo unity and power.
