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 am an equities trader and was in my office in Chicago, IL watching CNBC with my wife (who was a trader at the time also) and several friends, simply going about my business of the morning. I noticed the futures markets going down and immediately said to anyone who could hear "What is going on?" I then learned that a plane hit the World Trade Center. My wife's family is largely from the New York area and I have a lot of family and many friends there as well so after the first plane, we immediately began calling. I had read up on Osama bin Laden several months earlier and felt this was his work so I immediately worried for the safety of everybody I knew. We saw the 2nd plane hit on CNBC as well and the horrible Pentagon crash on CNBC too. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I live in a high rise and i am much more cautious about everybody around me, both in the building and away from me in all places. On a positive side, it further strengthened the tight family and friend ties that I have. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? a) the mixed feelings of helplessness and determination that most Americans felt that day. b) the resilience and feeling of coming out of this as a unified people in an attempt to stop all of these horrific actions going on in America. 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? I was fairly patriotic before 9/11/01 and I'm even more so now...I always had a distinct feeling of prid about our flag and it has only been enhanced. Our nation is not angelic (the peoples or the government), but it is an incredible place to be and I may be biased, but I think it's the greatest nation on the planet and that the U.S. flag is the most beautiful of all of the world's flag.
