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. As I sat in the safe classroom in ELCO, I could only stare at the TV in awe. Never had I thought a problem like his could ever be upon us. I was scared for all the people that lost and were losing their lives. Airplanes turned from mass transit units to mass destruction tools. Even being a TV witness will change my view on so many things. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. No American's life will ever be the same. Our outlook on many ideals and true wishes has been altered. They fell to the side and we looked at our freedom in a new light. Our freedom was at stake and our attention turned to the little things that we loved. We needed to look inside ourselves to find what we needed to pull through. I wanted to be alone and reflect on the events. I changed my outlook to know what was important to me. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? The loss of so many people and the loss of our true freedom should be remembered. Everyone in history should be remembering what happened on September 11th, 2001 and the heroes that it created. A National Holiday would be in good nature to remember all the people and remind us or our true freedom. 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 never had real true feelings for the flag. Our flag is now a symbol to me of love, victory, and peace. We live for what you true want inside of you. Our flag is our sign for the world to know that America is here. Red, white, and blue are the colors that are feared, respected, and mean so much. I know that I truly bleed red, white, and blue now Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
