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 remember when it happened, i was a freshman in high school and i was sitting in class and we heard over the loud speaker that a plane has just been high-jacked and flow in to the World Trade Center. At first I didnt know what to think. The rest of that day in school we watched the news and then the sencond plane hit, and then when it seemed like it couldn't get any worse it did. The two towers collapsed. But the funny thing was just a week and a half before that i was inNew York City and no one realy even took notice toi the towers and then a when they fell it seemed like everyone finally realized how important they were to us. I guess you never realy how much you need something untill its gone. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. my life personally hasnt changed. I weas fortunate enbough not to have any friend or relatives in the WTC at the time. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Everything! So many things happened that day and it wouldnt be right to focus on just a certain number of these things. I mean not just people in WTC died there were Fireman, policemen, construction workers, New Yorkers, and tourists from other parts of the stat, are, country, and even the world. so I think we should remember all that happened not just one thing. 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? My feeling have not changed at all. Before you start to think that thats rude or ignorant that me tell you why that is. True, i did gang a flag but only out of respect. Before that day happened last year no one cared about WTC the pentagon, or patriotism. Now all of a sudden people have changed completely, and it just goes to show that it takes something this big and so tragic for people to realize how important every little detail is to this country and i think thats pathetic. So I didnt no change but I am patriotic. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
