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 didn't know anything about it until I got to school. Then some kids started saying something about there's a plane flying into the World Trade Center. I thought it was a joke or something until I finally got to the library. There, they had a TV on showing the news. In each of the classes it was much the same until after lunch, I think. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. No, I don't really think so. Sure at first, it's a shock. I mean, you never think anything could happen like this to the U.S. But now I htink it was a while ago, and even then, it was across the country. And what can you really do after something like that? Is some change in your lifestyle or attitude going to change anything? I don't think so. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? September 11 will always be remembered as the day that planes flew into the twin towers. And it should be remembered as such. But it should also be rememebred as the day that we learned that the United States is not invulnerable. It was the day that someone actually challenged the U.S. And the years following September 11 will be how the world will find out if we are actually what we say we are. If all this time that anybody couldv'e stood up to the U.S. or whether we really do dish out the consequences. 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? We would have, if we had a flag. A friend of ours who flew a mission involving the response after 9/11 gave us a little flag that each member that flew that mission had in their plane. We have that framed and on the wall. My feelings about the flag haven't really changed since 9/11. All I know is that I've seen it more since then. I've always had respect for our flag, and what it represented. That was only reinforced after 9/11, and seeing our flag flying everywhere. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
