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. September 11th was a day of distress, a day of suffering, a day of anguish, a day of pain, yet a day of pride, and a day of unity. What happened on this day will always be in the hearts of the American people who lived to witness this extravagent event that changed the lives of Americans and the land of America forever. I will never forget watching that TV screen in my first period class, so far away from everything that was happening right in front of my eyes, yet feeling as if my soul was running along with those people fleeing for their lives in the land of freedom and safety. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. The day before September 11th, I didn't pay much attention to the people around me, we were all just people living our separate lives, practicing our separate religions, taking advantage of our freedom. Isn't that what America is all about? But I whitnessed something on September 11th that taught me a lesson in life I couldn't have learned more clearly any other way, how to work together and unite as one. I saw our country come together and join as one nation, no matter what religion, what race, what culture, we came together and defended our right of freedom, and pride, and showed to the world that we would not tolerate these acts in our country. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? 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 family has kept an American flag up outside of our house ever since September 11th. The flag has come to a totally new meaning to me. Everytime I look at a flag, I think about the blood that was shed for our country, the emotion that was roused up from this horrible day, and the courage that was shown from the people across America.
