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 third period when the school first became aware of what was happening. The second period gym class was outside on the track, there was an old man running that morning on the track also. He had a radio headset on and was listening to the news, towards the end of the period he stopped and told a few students the news that had just broke over the news. It was almost immediatly after everyone knew what had just happened. Everyone was unsure of what exactly was happening and what the story was. When i went into orchestra (third period) our conductor had the TV, we all watched silently. Nobody changed classes, it was the same scene in each classroom. Sometimes people would discuss what was happening in small groups asking why, how, what else, and what's next. It was hard to comprehend disaster on such a large scale, we live in a small town of about four thousand. For the rest of the day all i can remember is the scary silence of downtown and the neighborhoods, everyone was glued to the their telelvisions. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Much has changed but nothing that directly affects me, if so i haven't noticed. I am more aware of what is happening in the news and in current events. Patriotism has made a huge comeback. In some cases people take their patriotism to extremes, but for the most part it is positive. One incident when i was affected was when i wanted to change a plan ticket with my mom and i couldn't, not a big deal but an increase in airport security is noticable. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Everything should remembered, every story should be written down and recorded. 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? Our family did not rush to the stores to buy American Flags or red, white, and blue clothing. Patriotism shoudn't be based on how many American Flag bumper stickers you have or how big your American Flag is, rather what you do for your country.
