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. It was early in the morning when my mom came running up from down stairs. For some reason she had turned on CNN that morning just in time to see the second tower fall. We sat in font of the T.V. while I ate my breakfast. We did not know if I was going to have school that day so my mom called to check. School was still on. When I got to school nobody knew what to do. We went to our first classes and waited. All classroom activites for some reason did not stop except for one, French, where our teacher had a T.V. with the news. This was very stranged for such a powerful day, I thought. The day went on with one kid saying, "I dont care if a bunch of unimportant building fell down." Others went home early, crying, not knowing if they had lost someome they knew. The day was over for me with cross country practice. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Somewhat. I have seen how united our country can be, but how foolish we look in the eyes of other countries. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? The victims and the people who fought to save them. 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 mom and I did not fly an American flag after September 11th for not soon after, we had left the country for a year. We went to a country where there was some anti-American sentiment which made us think about how America is viewed in the eyes of other countries. We are often arrogant and wasteful.
