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. My story is so small and far away but it was Sept 11 for me in Sydney, Australia. It was early in the morning, maybe 3am? and my partner's sister phoned to say that her husband (who was working in Germany) had just called her to tell her there had been a terrorist attack in America. I was still half asleep, my heart racing as it does when the phone rings during the middle of the night, and I remember not comprehending what she was saying. "Turn on the TV", Erika said. "You can see it". "Which station?", I asked. "Any station. It's on every station". How could that be? Nothing was ever televised on every station. At 3am my partner and I huddled on our lounge and cried. At about 6am, I phoned my only New York friend, Laura, and after finding she was OK, I listened through the phone as the sirens wailed and Laura told me how strange it all was because the sky was so blue that day. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I had never known what the word 'terrorism' meant before. Not really. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Hatred of humanity will continue to harm us. We must all take steps to change our world. 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 am Australian and hadn't thought about the role of the flag, any flag, yours or ours.
