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 September 11, 2001 I was in High Point School. It was the begganing of 3rd period as I was walking into the history classroom. My teacher had already turned on the T.V and the class was watching it. I sat down in my seat and looked up. Smoke coming out of the one toward. "Is this posible?" I thought to myself the whole time. Every channel had it on, just fliping back and forth getting different views. Then.. anoth plan. Right into the next building. The room had been silence, but then all at once there was a 'gasp' threw out the room. The whole period we just watched in amazedment over this deal. The day want on and each period we wathced it. Untill out principal came onto the loud speaker and told all the teachers to turn off the T.V's and go on like a normal old school. But how could you? Our pride and spirt were crushed. I will never forget that one day of school. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life in general wasn't really changed, but all the things around me were. New rules for everything, baseball feild, airports, even our school made new rules. I didn't know anyone personally, that was killed or injuryed. Yet, I knew people who did. Just the look on there faces you could almost feel what they did. Heartbroken, hurt, confused, so many feelings all boiling together at once. And now to this day, everything has more spirt, pride and togetherness or our country. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? What happen that day, hit us all hard in the face. No one expected this to ever happen, yet it did. I think what should be remeber is the afterworks of it all. The pride our country had for standing together and being one. But we all know that everything will be remembered, from the planes crashing into them to the towards falling over. September 11, 2001 a day that no one will ever forget and will means something to someone forever. 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, I tink that everyone after this experience put up a flag. But what is bad about this, that it takes something like two planes crashing of ours to crash into our tallest building and destroy them to makes us all come together. We should have alwyas been like thisfrom the start. And now, you can slowly see us joining and being one is fading away. I think this is so horrible and we should try to keep it the way it was the few days after 9-11-01 had happened.
