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. The morning of September 11,2001, I was on my way to school, confused on why all the radio stations had the ame programming. When I finally gave up trying to find a station with music, I began to listen to the coverage of the terrorists attacks. I was shocked at what I heard. I began to notice the anxiety, and confusion of the people around me. When I finally arrived to school, it was the topic of discussion. When I went to my first period class, the teacher decided to watch the coverage of the history changing event, on tv. That was the first time I saw the horrible images of the attacks. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Seeing the World Trade Center collapse, was almost as if I was watching a summer blockbuster. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has slightly changed. After the attacks, I was very interested in the muslim culture, and religion. I was paranoid for a week, or two. But after those weeks, I went back to my pathetic life, of gossiping about the latest trends, and what celebrity did what. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? September 11, 2001 should be remembered as the day that our culture, and beliefs were tested, and prevailed. The day that our patriotism pulled through, and showed that we as Americans, stood beside our fellow Americans and helpped them through that tough time. 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 didn't fly an American flag, only because every store was out of stock. Otherwise, without a doubt, my family would have flown one. After these events, I gained a greater respect for the American flag, being that it's a symbol of our freedon, which should be celebrated everyday.
