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. It was picture day at my school, so the day was already kind of chaotic. I remember watching the news in many of my classes, and still not knowing very much about what was going on, and it was very frightening. Rumors spread like wild fire in high school, so literally every 5 minutes, i was being told something else. I didnt go to school the next day because i didnt know how to act, or what to say, and there was still so much fear and animosity everywhere. The rest of the week at school, i remember the hallways were very solemn, and it was all any one could talk about. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I have become more aware of international events, and am a little more paranoid, but i feel safer at the same time. I took my first flight this summer, and i now feel better about flying. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think that it should be remembered that even though it was an unexpected cavillion attack, it was an act of war and should be remembered especially to prevent something like this from happening again. Also, obviously, every single solitary person who lost their life should be remembered with utmost admiration and respect. 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? I suppose i did become more appreciative of our country, and more aware of its gifts and openings. However, it did make me mad that so many companies made such a profit off of patriotic merchandise right when americans were vulnerable. I think the fact that that made me mad was what made me realize that i had become more patriotic.
