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. My husband, who was getting ready for work, came running out of his bathroom(where he has a tv)and tells me to turn on the tv in the bedroom as he thinks a plane crashed into the WTC. My first thought was "what a terrible accident" and the saddness I felt for the people inside. I no sooner thought that when I saw a plane in view and moments later that hit too. It was that very moment I knew this was no accident, but a deliberate attack. It was incredible, I couldn't believe what I just saw. I just started crying, as I knew so many had lost their lives. As the hours and days unfolded and we learned about the pentegon and flight 93 in Pennsylvania.I was so angry that this happened to innocent people. A year later, I am still angry and want President Bush to do everything in his power to avenge the deaths of the innocent souls we lost that day. I support all involved in bringing these bastards down and sending them straight back to the devil, whence they came. Never forget, never forget, never forget. God Bless America! NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Indirectly. There is just a deep saddness grieving for people you don't know, but as the family members have come forward and shared their personal stories of the ones they loved,it becomes almost unbearable knowing they are no longer here and there is no reason they should have died this way. My heart is heavy. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Everything. 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, but I also have flown my flag before September ll, 2001. I have always been very proud of my country and flag, but now I have a different perspective of what it means, it is a privledge to live in this great country and we should celebrate that fact every day.
