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 at a local high school when news came in that 1 of the Twin Towers was hit. Immediately the televisions throughout our school went on and stayed on that entire day to witness the terrible injustice done to innocent people. Tears were shed along with questions as to why and how this could have happened. The days following were probably the most upsetting to me as reality finally set in that so many lives were lost and changed that day. I will always remember that day and the days that followed as on of the most terrible I have lived through as an American. Those people who lost their lives will never be forgotten. But, also a great sense of pride was with me those days as I witnessed Americans coming together as never before. We visited the traveling exhibition today and it all came back, again the tears flowed. I hope that my grandchildren will grow up in a world that is full of hope, not terror. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I feel a little different about traveling overseas as an American. I also consider myself to be more proud to be an American while also being a little more guarded about it. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? The thousands of innocent lives that were lost and the families that were affected. I also believe that the thousands of people who were someway involved in some type of rescue work were the real heroes in this story. 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, a flag went up immediately and I do feel more passion for my flag. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
