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. When I woke up on September 11, I didn't plan on witnessing history, I planned on going to another boring day of school. That day turned out to be the most tragic day of my life. I was walking from my third period class to my fourth period class. I walked into the room hearing rumors about the trade center being blown up. I didn't believe it, nobody ever thought something like that would ever happen in the U.S., but it did. I stood open-mouthed as rumors became reality and I had seen replays of the planes crashing into the first tower. Soon after that, the t.v. was turned off and it was back to class. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. September 11, has changed my life in a way I never thought possible. I now look into the sky whenever I see or hear a plane passing overhead and pray that nothing goes wrong. My views of foreigners have also changed. Before I didn't really have a problem with anyone from the Middle-East, but now I think that even though most of them didn't do anything, they're all at fault because of something a few people did. I can't even watch the news anymore because I get mad when I see those people running around with car bombs and all that thinking to myself that they should pay. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think that people get too wrapped up in the bad things that happened on that fateful day. We shouldnt reflect on all the bad that happened, we should really think about how that one event changed the way Americans live and the diversity that was among us is now gone. September 11 brought our country together, even though many lost their lives. 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?
