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 had witnessed many things on September 11th. I was in Health class and our principal Mr. Sherman came over the announcements and told us what had happened to the Twin Towers. I didn't really realize what had happened at first, but when I saw it on the news I was shocked to see what had happened to the lives of many innocent people. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has changed during the events of September 11th. My brother Eric, was in boot camp for the United States Marines when this all first happened. My family and I were worried that after he graduated he would be sent to Afganistan. This didn't happen because his unit hasn't been activated at this time. We worry that if the war continues his unit will be activated. My Uncle Terry is a pilot for the United States Marines. He flies herrier jets and he too is at risk if this war continues and we're unable to catch all the terrorists. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think that many things should be remembered about the events on September 11th. The first would be that the United States is not ammune from terrorists attacks. We need to remember that hate brings about terrorists beliefs. We must all have compassion and understanding for all walks of life no matter how different from our own. As for the people who died during the attacks on September 11th we should always remember their sacrafice by never allowing this to happen again in the United States of America. 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? Since the events on September 11th, my family and I fly and American flag in the front of our home. I have finally realized that a flag means more to me than just a symbol for our country. It means love, happiness, and it's something to cherish for the rest of your life.
