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 in 2nd hour class when all of a sudden the principal walked into the classroom and asked to speak to the teacher. So, they left out into the hallway. When the teacher came back, she told us the news, and we were all devistated. So, we all piled into the classroom next to us, because it was the only room with a TV in the hallway. We all watched in horror as the towers were hit. I couldn't stop myself from crying thinking of all the people who must have gotten injured or were murdered by the planes. We watched what we could till the hour was done. As I left the room, I had to sit down because I was so sad that such a horrible thing could happen to the beautiful country we are living in. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has completely changed. Now that I know that we could lose very important people because of acts like this, I always tell the people I love, that I love them, just in case tomorrow never comes. I also have more pride in America because our country showed it's strength by all of us coming together and acting as one. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think all the victims should be remembered, because they are the ones who died or sacrificed themselves to save the rest of America. They are the true heros as well as the fire fighters. 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? The American flag is now hanging in the front of our home, and has been since the attacks. Now, my heart fills with pride every time I see that beautiful flag because it represents all the Americans who came together to act as one and it also shows that we have pride and strength. That we will never be defeated. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
