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 teaching a class of high school students. We were out of our regular classroom and using a computer lab. Another teacher in a class nearby came in and said "check out USA Today.com... something has happened." I went to the website and saw photos of the World Trade Center on fire. I immediately stopped class and said students "There has been some kind of accident in New York, I think it may be significant. We should all stop what we are doing and go back to the classroom to turn on the TV." Most students beat me back to the room and had the TV on. We sat in stunned, scared silence as the reports came in with their horrific pictures. The remainder of the day as students came in and out classes we watched the news, talked about our feelings, shared worries, and discussed those we knew in New York or Washington D.C. Many students (especially seniors-age 17-18) instantly started worrying about war and if they could be drafted. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has changed since September 11, 2001. I try not to take friends and family for granted. I also see the United States in a different light. I used to be very ethnocentric and believe that the majority of the world thinks the U.S. is great... not so. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Live every moment to its fullest and learn about the world around you. We will also remember most the heroism of the common person. The vast number of men ane women, who in complete innocence, risked their lives because of a desire to help another. 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? I did fly an American flag after 9/11. The flag has brought people together and renewed patriotism.
