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 woke up on that morning from the loudness of the television, got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. Breakfast wasn't ready yet, so I thought I'd see what my mom was watching. My mom was so into ti and I still didn't get it. I watched for a while, and BOOM! a tower was hit. I finally understood. I was a little scared for the people that I way jumping out of windows that were on the 100th floor, but also a little excited about what was going on. I wasn't excited like... happy, more like wondering what was gonna happen. When I finally got to school, I got more information. I didn't see the towers fall, but when I got home I turned on the news and they were re-showing what happened. Then I understood it all. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has changed only with one thing. And that one thing is taking stuff for granted. Before 9/11, I always took somethings for granted. Now I don't. I'm kinda glad it happened (well not the whole fact that IT HAPPENED!) But that I don't take things for granted as much or anymore. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think all the firefighters and police should be remembered FOREVER. Because they are the true heros of 9/11. They put their own lives in danger for others. 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 did. And yes my feelings changed about the flag. Before I thought it was just a way to tell who we are. Now I think it as a symbol of love, helpfulness, liberty, and peace. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
