Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My sister-in-law and niece were in New York on September 10th for the Michael Jackson concert. The plans were to leave on September 11th after having breakfast in the Top of the World restaurant in the WTC. My sister-in-law had a strange feeling to leave right away and skip breakfast there. They left on an earlier plane not knowing what was going on until the pilot announced that there had been an emergency and they had to land in Lincoln, Nebraska. When they got off the plane and were taken to a Red Cross shelter the TV was on and they saw what was happening. Both of them were in total shock but very grateful because had it not been for that feeling to leave right away they would have been in the WTC when the plane hit.

Tell us your story: September 11 I first heard about the Sept.11 attack when I came to school because when I got off the bus there were kids shouting about it. That was when I heard about it. After that I went to my friends and we talked about it. I felt really bad because I knew that a lot of people died either in the building or trying to save people. I remember in homeroom when our principal came in and talked to us about it. He said that he was watching the morning news when it came on. Later, in P.E. we all got together and had a moment of silence. When I got home my mom and I watched the news. This is my story of the Sept.11.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I can't remember what class I was in but I do remember that every class I went to that day we watched it on the tv. When I first saw it on the tv I was in shock. I couldn't beleive that the twin towers had be under attack. That I was watching something that was live: happening at that moment. I almost started crying when I heard that people were jumping out of the towers or falling out and that a lot of people didn't make it out. I felt really bad for their families. I started praying for the people who were still in the building that they make it out ok and for the families who will soon find out or get a call that someone that they loved was in there and didn't make it out. The memory of the two towers falling stands out in mind. Its what I remeber the clearest. Just sitting there not breathing and a blank face. Kids around me with the same expression while some laugh under their breath to where the teacher can't hear them. When I heard them I turned around and said "This is a serious time rigth now, not just for the people in at the scene but for everybody b/c it effect us in ways you might not see yet." They just laughed. It hurt to see that some people didn't take it serious or at least show some kind of respect for what was happening. Things(attacks) like this just show how quickly our lives can change in an instant. How we should always try to live our lives to the fullest.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was a sophomore in high school and the day began so bright and pretty, but when i arrived at secoind block my teacher had the television on and she was sitting in pure shock. At that time I didn't really understand what the circumstances were, but then she had told me that one the the Twin Towers had been hit by a plane. I turn and looked at the screen again, and it appear to be a action movie to me. I could not bring myself to believe that American sould be attack in such away. We sat in class and watched the images of the first plane hitting one of the towers and as the next two planes flew into the Pentagon and the second tower. I watched in total disbelief and horror. Then only seconds later one of my best friends got a phone call from her family. They told her that her cousin who worked in the Pentagon was there during the attack and that they had not got in contact with him. She was hysterical, and after that we took a minute out of class to pray silently to ourselves. I walked around the whole day trying to convince myself that nothing thi horrible could ever happen in the USA, but unfortunately it did. When I got out of school, there was a pile of cars at ever gas station for miles and miles. I wasn't worried about the gas or anything. I just wanted to be never my family for encouragement and strength.I don't ever think that I will forget my sophomore year in high school for two reason: I never thought that anything like Sept. 11th would happen in my life time; and I could never be more proud of how my country pulled together in strength and courage. I think that these are the qualities most Americans are made of, not to say that the USA is perfect, but on that day and forever more I would want to live in any other country on earth. Also after that I had never seen so many people loose their jobs, but to sum my opinion up, "He will never put more on us than we can bear" and that is just how i feel and I don't think that my opinion will efer change.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: When I heard that the first plane hit the WTC I was shocked and wondering who would do such a thing to people that didn't deserve it. When the second plane hit my doctor told me and my parents. I just took a minute to think about how the people were reacting and wondering if any of there family members or friends were hurt. Later on in the day another air plane hit the middle of the Pentigon, alot of people were seriously injured. Another plane was heading for Washiton D.C but the passengers knew they were gonna get hurt in some way, So who ever had a cell phone called an told there family what was happening. Terriorist have taken over the plane and that they will fight with the terrioists to try an take the plane down so they wouldnt hurt any more innocient people, They did take it down in a field. Still a lot of innocent people were died, but they risked there lives to save others. I think only one good thing came out of the 9/11/01 attacks. That is people realize how fortunate they really are to be an American. No matter how hard terrorist. try they will not get the victory. Sence the attacks people that didnt even know each other have been closer to every one in America then they were before. All I have to say is "United we stand Divided we fall."

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband, myself and our two children (Samantha, 6 and Joshua, 4) were en route to Rockford, IL where we were relocating. We were moving from New Orleans, LA. My husband had lost his job in April of 2000, had found a position in Rockford and we had pulled up very deep roots to move across the country to a place that I knew nothing about. I was born and raised in New Orleans and had never lived anywhere else in my life! My husband is actually from the Peoria area so, in a sense, this was like coming home for him. We had left New Orleans the day before at about 6:00pm. It took a long time to get the moving van loaded up. We drove a few hours and stopped in Jackson, MS on the evening of the 10th. We got up a little later than we wanted to on the 11th. We got our bags ready, checked out of the hotel and made our way to McDonald's for breakfast. I was travelling in my car with Samantha, Joshua, Gracie (our toy poodle) and Sandy (our cat). My husband was transporting the fish from our fish tanks. He had a battery-powered pump to keep the water aerated for the fish-filled water in 2 Home Depot buckets (he was quite proud of his design). We could not leave the things in the car so we took turns eating breakfast. He took the the kids in to eat first while I sat in the car with Gracie and Sandy. When they were done I went in for my turn. I remember sitting at the table eating my egg mcmuffin and thinking it was the first time I'd ever seen a TV in a McDonald's. I saw the side of the screen and it looked like a news program like the Today show or any kind of morning show. I didn't pay much attention. I was moving my entire life across the country and couldn't be bothered with celebrity interviews and cooking demonstrations. The customers in the restaurant were being drawn to the TV in and unusual manner. It occurred as odd to me, but I still didn't see any need to pay attention to the TV. I finished my breakfast, threw away my trash and headed out to the car. As I walked out of the restaurant, I noticed President Bush on the TV making his way to a podium. Still I ignored the TV. We loaded up the cars and got on the road. I couldn't shake the image of the president walking to the podium. Why was he on TV? Was there something wrong somewhere? I turned on the radio and heard the frightening news: An airliner filled with people had flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in the heart of New York City. Unable to believe what I'd heard, I continued listening for someone to give some kind of clue that this was a joke. A sick joke! But all I heard were more terrifying details of still more frightening occurrences. Another airliner had crashed into the Pentagon and there was another airliner that had crashed somewhere in Pennsylvania. I started to cry. My shoulders shook with bewildered sobs. "What's the matter, Mommy?" My daughter stopped playing with her brother to find out why I was crying in a way that she rarely saw. I didn't know what to say. So I told her. "An airplane crashed into a big building in New York City and killed a lot of people." That was all I could say that she could probably understand. She was silent. As I listened to the radio further the theory was more and more evident that this had been no accident. "Some bad people had flown the airplanes into the buildings on purpose to scare all of the people in our country." This is what I ended up telling her that day. I don't know if she really understood this, but I think she did. Later in the day (which was the most surreal day of my life) we tried to stop for gas and were greeted with a line of cars waiting to pump gas that stretched all the way down the street. I hadn't seen anything like this since the 70's!! It scared me. I started thinking about where we were going to end up. What was this day going to mean to the rest of the country? Wall Street was closed. All kinds of financial things were going on. Were we going to be able to close on our beautiful new house? Were we going to have a place to live when we got to Rockford? I wanted to be home with my dad and sister where I knew things were safe. It felt like a front line in a war out here. I just couldn't fathom what the families of all the people who perished as a result of all this insanity were going through. It hurt to think about it. But we pressed on. I listened to the president when he said that we must keep on with everyday life. We must not let this beat us or have it interfere with what we hold dear. This is not to say that it won't affect us. It affects us every day since that tragic day. But I think his message of (which I interepreted as) perseverance was brilliant advice. I think it kept our country from becoming a victim. We were able to close on our house and our transition from New Orleans to Rockford has been relatively smooth. I pray for the families who were touched by this tragedy by losing their loved ones. God Bless us all and God Bless our great country. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When we watched the horrible thing unfold before our eyes you can hear the horror in the peoples breaths and as I looked around the room I saw tears start to flow. As the day progressed we did not have much lunch business.Many of the people just spent their lunch time glued to the television.A person could not help but cry for the lost lives and the fright that we were feeling.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I sat home on Sept 11, 2001 because it is the time of year when I take my vacation. My birthday is September 6th, my 3 year wedding anniversary was Sept 5th and I was messing around in the house doing little odd jobs. The phone rang about 8:55...it was my brother-in-law asking me if I was watching the news...of course I wasn't, I had long since finished watching the local news and had moved on the one of my favorite shows "I Love Lucy". He asked me to sit down in front of the TV and turn on a local station...he said any one of them would be fine....I punched channel 5 on the remote and was immediately shocked into silence. I sat there holding the phone, unable to speak, glued to the awful sights that were being broadcast on national TV. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself as the tears begin to fall for the people who would loose their lives that day. And we sat there together...him listening to his news station and me to mine...and together we watched the second plane crash into the other tower. Now he was at work at UNC hospitals....people were frantic, they were crying and I could h ear them in the background with much the same expressions that I was having. Oh, my God?!!! What in the world is going on. It took a while before we heard them saying it was an attack, and then we heard the awful news...there was another plane that appeared to be hi-jacked...and then another. It was too crazy to think about...I eventually had to hang up from breathing over the phone line with him because my call-waiting was clicking off the hook. My sister-in-law, my 2 best friends, my mother, my grandma...all of us calling each other to say how much we loved them, to check on there where-abouts, to make sure we were all safe. And then I went crazy...well almost crazy...as I tried for hour after hour to get someone in my husbands family on the phone. His grandma, 3 aunts and a host of other relatives lived in Brooklyn...I wanted to ensure that they all were safe. But the lines were busy, or fast busy indicating they were disconnected, and the "all circuts are busy" was just about to drive me insane. Finally, I think my mother-in-law called to say she had spoken with her mother and sister and they were all ok, but it was chaos in the city! And after all of that died down, and the plane crashed into the Pentagon, and the other one was forced down in that field in Philadelphia...well, what else could I do. I sat in my floor and cried, I prayed for all the lives that were touched by this tragedy, I prayed hard and long for the evil folks who thought this was a great idea. I cried because I wanted to do something, I cried because I felt like I coudln't do anything. I called everyone I could think of and who's numbers Iknew by heart, just to say I loved them. And the worse the pictures got on the TV, the tighter I stayed glued to it...because there was nothing else I felt like I could do from my little-bitty-what-I- thought-was-safe-home in Chapel Hill North Carolina. Because quickly you realize how easily it could have been me. And for days, weeks even, after this, every time I heard a plane or helicopter in the sky, I thought for sure it was crashing into something near me, dropping a bomb or something else devastating. But what was even more scary was the hours and days right after the attack when the skies were silent..almost as if it were a permenant moment of silence.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was on my way to Famous Anthonys to pick up breakfast for our company. I was listening to the radio and talking to the girl that was with me. When suddenly the DJ Melissa Morgan came across the air and said that a plane had just crashed into the WTC. Me and the other girl were shocked and trying to figure out what was going on. I thought that it may have been an idividual airplane that had gotten off course and maybe lost control or something. The other girl thought the same. We got our breakfast and on the way back to the office we heard that a second plane had hit the other tower. We then knew that something was up. We got back tot he office and everyone was in the Kitchen watching the local news channel. No one could say anything we were all just in shock. I couldn't believe this was happening to us to the United States and mostly to the innocent people who were just living their day to day lives. When I found out definatly that this an intentional act I cried. To me how could someone be so angry and so irrational to do something like this. And then to know that they were our planes that were used to do this horrible deed is just unbearable. I thanked GOD that day that not a single member of my family was in any of those planes or buildings that day. And to those families that were my heart, sympathy, prayers & love goes out to you. I can't say that I know what it was like to loose someone you truly love and care about in that terror attack. But I can understand the confusion & devastation, and the feeling that this horrible thing has happened and there is nothing you can do about, feeling like the smallest person in the whole world. And asking myself what have you done to still be here? Waht have you done to be spared? Why wasn't it me in one of those buildings that were destroyed? Well all that I had to comfort me that day, watching all of this unfold before my eyes, was that GOD has a plan and this is all in his plan. All you can do is try to understand that without suffering there would be no compassion in the world that we live in today. My prayers and love are with those who will never have a family member or friend come home to you. God bless you all!!

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Hardin Simmons University was inaugarating a new President. We had the day off from class so everyone could attend the ceremonies. Mr roomoate had to get up early to pick up his uncle at the airport because he was on the Board of the Trustees and had flown his private plane in from the Metroplex. When my roommate got back he told me about the airliners flying into the towers and that all flights had been grounded. His uncle had made it here. We turned on the TV as I continued to get dressed and had to leave just after the towers collapsed. I was in complete shock and thought I was watching a movie. I have a best friend back home that works for the Attorney General in New Mexico. I called him to see if he knew but he did not answer his cell phone. I left a message giving a basic summary of the planes and then the towers collapsing and hung up. Later he told me that he got the message soon afterward and a few moments later his mom called. He thought I was joking but when his mom said the exact same thing he was also astonished. Since classes were cancelled I stayed close to the TV and watched every update and the events of the rest of the day.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: First, I'd like to send my condolences to all the families that lost their loved ones on 9/11/01. We all must pray long and with great seriousness so we can bring these terrorist to justice. We must not be angry so our judgement won't be false. We must stay focused on catching all the terrorists that caused this senseless distruction, and the loss of thousands of innocent lives. May God have mercy on the souls of the terrorists, because no one else will. They will have to face God and if they think for one minute that what they did was Ok because it was in the name of God, they are sadly mistaken. Terrorists are murderers, and they must be punished for their crimes. On that sad day of 9/11/01, I was at home and my bestfriend called me up speaking very fast and crying. I was able to understand which channel she said to put on. I just missed the first tower being hit. Then when I saw the second tower being hit and I was in shock. It was like watching a movie. But it was VERY REAL. Then I felt that this was intentional. Not sure by whom, but I was guessing terrorits. My bestfriend and I were crying for most of that day. We stayed on the phone for hours (we both have call-waiting)just watching the TV at the same time, and changing channels to see what the other networks were showing. I had just moved to Richmond, VA. August of 2001 and I lived only 6 minutes away from the Pentagon. Thank you God that I moved when I did. I used the route that passed in front of the Pentagon all the time. Soon after 9/11 I had to go to Alexandria, VA. and I passed in front of the Pentagon and I just cried and cried. It looked like a war zone. I just can't imagine what all those people went through, be it in the plane or in the Pentagon. America is strong, stable, and full of brave men and women. We will not back down to those or any other terrorists from any country on this Planet. God Bless America.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Today is September 11, 2002. It has been an angry year, a sad year, a confused year, and every day has been plagued by recollections of the past, thoughts of the loss suffered by our nation. I have only felt sadness for the loss of the buildings in New York; the loss of life has yet to sink in to my mind. I didn't lose anyone close to me, thank God, but unfortunately, this fact has made me numb to the losses of others. Only now am I finally beginning to understand the gravity of three thousand dead- some whose stories may never be known or told. On the morning of September 11, 2001, I was sleeping deeply, and I vaguely remember hearing the phone ring once or twice in my sleep. I was having a dream: there was this beautiful green plant with proud and healthy green leaves. A finger reached out to touch the top of the plant, and it immediately turned brown, withered away and died. When the phone rang a third time, it jarred me awake and I felt a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I looked at my watch: it was nearly 9:00 CST. I answered the phone, and heard my roommate on the other line: "Turn on the TV." "What channel?" I asked. "It doesn't matter," she said. "Just turn it on!" I stumbled to the living room and switched on the TV, cordless phone in hand. All I saw on the TV was smoke, but where it was coming from was confusing: it looked like it was coming from the Pentagon. A movie? A prank? I was all the sudden very ill. "What's going on?" I looked for some kind of clarification. "We're being attacked," she told me. The picture on the TV switched to another familiar sight, made alien by plumes of smoke but mirrored on the wall behind me by a picture of the New York City skyline I had owned since childhood. "Oh, God. This is bad," I said, in astonishment. "I'll call you back." I hung up with her a few minutes before the first tower began to fall. It happened in slow motion, just like a bad movie. I began screaming and sobbing, and for a while, time stood still. I was praying and crying and cursing all at the same time. The events of that morning touched me deeply and changed me indeliably. I went to New York City when I was about thirteen years old. It was the best time of my life. I had never been out of the South before, and though I grew up in a medium-sized city, I certainly had never seen a place like that. I loved the way the people talked, the way they walked confidently and defiantly down the sidewalk, the culture and the lights transported me to a different world. My favorite place in New York was the top of the World Trade Center. At the bottom, I leaned as far back as I could and I still couldn't see the top. It was as if the buildings were forever high. On the way up in the elevator, I was in awe that my ears were popping because we were so high up. I wondered if it was possible for an elevator to go forever high. At the top, I leaned down and stared at the street: the tiny little cars, and the people pin-prick sized. Our tour guide told us that if we dropped a penny from the top and it hit someone on the head down below, that it would kill them. I didn't have to go to work on September 11, and it is a good thing because I couldn't have handled it. I was glued to the TV all day. I was thirsty, but I didn't want to move. I had to go to the bathroom, but I didn't want to leave the TV, afraid I would miss the part when an announcer would say, "Ha Ha, we were just kidding. This was all just a very bad joke." I stayed up all night, hoping to hear news of survivors. The next day, I did return to work, a little more somber than usual. My workplace, a video store, is usually a very jovial environment. We play a lot and we work very hard, but on September 12, there was no business and there was certainly no playing. Instead of watching movie trailers, we had every TV turned to the news. That day, one customer in particular stands out in my mind. A very well-dressed woman came in the door, and I could tell when she began talking to me that she was not from the area. "These movies were due yesterday, and I need to pay the late fee," she told me. I checked them in and looked up her account. Her address was a Manhatten address. "Stuck here, eh?" I asked her, mentioning the fact that the quiet skies over the store, which is near the Birmingham Municipal Airport, were keeping me on edge. We began to talk, and I found out that she grew up in Birmingham and had married a man from New York. She was in town visiting family. Her husband worked in the World Trade Center, she said, but he was home sick on the day before and was fine. She wished she could fly back and be with him. I told her I had always wanted to live in New York. She said, "Don't you dare not ever live in New York. Go there, if only for a year. Do it for yourself. You're young, and you shouldn't ever forget that dream." I will, one day. I will never be able to take my children to the top of the World Trade Center: I will only be able to show them pictures, and tell them the story. The most important thing for my generation to pass on is the collection of stories of heroism. The tales of compassion and kindness. The community created by the most horrific event yet witnessed by our country, on our own soil. I try not to think about the people. I didn't know any of them. I never will. But now, a year later, I sense the thousands of spirts floating above the city of New York, looking down on their family members and their friends, telling them to move on with their lives. Thanking the firefighters and the civilians who tried so hard to get them out of the burning buldings. Watching as we all remember and whispering in three thousand ghostly voices: "Close the book. But never forget what you all saw here." Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I'll never forget where or what I was doing on that September 11th day of 2001. I was driving to Indianapolis Indiana for a special meeting with an association I am involved with. It was like any other trip I make that way, I actually look forward to those days because I travel by myself and it is a time when I am actually left alone with my thoughts and I don't have to share the radio or Cd player with anyone. Being a mother of a one year old usually there were Barny songs on the radio. I was ready to go- I had my collection of cd's to listen to, turned off my cell phone for the 2 hour trip and was on the road about 7:45am for my comute. It was a beautiful morning I had the sunroof open. I was listining to the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack singing along and ironically enough I had this feeling that I needed to turn on the radio. (Which I never do because with the drive up to Indy you go thru several different stations. It is hard for me find one station that I can listen to because they are usually locals giving farm reports, who was arrested and so forth.) As I was listening to a local favorite Bob and Tom the reports were coming in I couldn't tell if it was for real or not because those two are famous for all their skits they do on the radio. I began turning the stations and that was all that was being reported. I remember still not beliving this was happening. I reached over turned on my cell phone and had missed several calls from my office, family, and friends. I called my Dad and asked him if this is really happening and he told me yes, just as that was said the Pentagon was being hit. Here I am half way between my hometown and the business meeting I needed to attend driving down a stretch of highway that was surrounded by nothing but cornfields. Mind you Indianapolis is only 120 miles away from where I live but as I was driving and this was unfolding you couldn't convience me that I wasn't 10,000 miles away. All I wanted to do was turn my car around and head straight to the babysitters house and get my son, but I also no longer wanted to be alone. I had a sudden urge to get somewhere that I knew people. I was closer to Indy now than I was home. As I am driving all I can think of is how erie this feels to be all alone after I had looked so forward to being alone. I would watch the sky and notice there were not any planes around and when I would see one it was a small prop plane. The thoughts of the movie Red Dawn kept kreeping into my mind. We were under attack. What was this going to mean for my son? This has forever changed the way he would be raised and the life I had hoped he would have. I just began to cry- I knew life would never be the same- That security will be be gone forever he will never have even known what we just lost. I finally made it to Indianapolis after calling everyone back and ensuring them I was okay and I would be fine in Indy. My mother was just beside herself when she found out I was out of town. I walked into the conference room and everyone one in there were sitting in silence and watching the news. Finally someone said we have to turn this off. "We have to turn this off" if it were only so easy. I'll never forget those word. I remeber thinking yes we have to keep going on about our business but was so torn inside about how could we discuss plans about a golf scrambe while this was going on; it seened so frivilous now- but two days before it was end all be all to get this all finailzed. We conducted the meeting like any other and not another word was "said" about what was happening in our country until the meeting was over and we were served lunch. I remember making a note to look at the gas prices as I pulled into the meeting at 10am that morning, as I left the meeting at noon it had gone from $1.29 to over $2.00 I thought here we go. When I got to my home town around 3:30 the gas prices were so spuratic some places were still $1.29 while others were over $5.00 a gallon just a few mile down the road. I finally got a hold of my husband who is a middle school teacher and coach to touch base and see how things were at the school. I think most parents felt the same as we both did, all we wanted to do was get our family all together and feel safe again. I ran picked up our son and we met over at my husbands parents home with the rest of the family coming in shortly after. We all sat together waiting, all feeling the same feelings but all also having very different feelings all at the sametime. This being a family of all educators and mostly history teachers at that- there were many hindsights to be told and many different theorys as to how handle this situation. The one common thing we all had was that we couldn't wait to see and hear our President address "us". We all sat feeling very proud as we watch this horror hundreds of miles away. We felt somewhat of a sigh of relief as we listened and waited for our president to lead us through unchartered time. I remember going home that night and having our son go to bed with us that night sleeping between the two of us somehow thinging this felt safe- but still with the television on afraid to fall asleep but just the same afraid to wake up and find more dispair. Now one year later I seem to more bothered by this than before which seems strange I know but we have had time to take all of this in and realize the signficance of whaat has occured in our Great Nation- I couln't be more proud to be an American now than ever before.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Where I was at on 9/11 When I saw what happened on September eleventh I was in my second period Study Hall class warching one of the T.V?s. The T.V. was on channel 7, which is our news channel, and it was showing live coverage in New York of what was happening at the time of the attacks. When they showed one of the planes crashing into one of the buildings it looked like something that would be in a movie. When the first plane hit the building it didn?t look real at all. I thought it was a joke or something because I would never think that anyone would do anything like that. When the builking was starting to fall I thought it looked pretty cool seeing a building fall to the ground, but then I thought then it wasn?t that cool because a whole bunch of people died in the buildings and in the airplanes. After that period every teacher in every classroom had their T.V. on in concern to see what was going to happen next.

Tell us your story: I was at the gym for my morning work out,when I saw the first and then the second plane hit the twin towers and I thought out load that this was an act of terrorism and that we were going to war.I am a captain in the sheriffs department,so I hurried home because I knew I would have to respond to work right away.I first made sure I saw my family and made sure they were ok,then I suited up in tactical gear and responded to my office.Within hours I was down at ground zero.I was there for a week.There are two things that stuck in my mind.First was the weird sense of quite for being in the city.The hustle and crowds were gone,even though there were alot of resues workers there,it was still such a strange feeling,like an old war movie.Thats how it looked as you walked the streets of the city.Second was the smell that filled the air.I will never forget that smell.I could not get it uot of my nose for weeks.The people of New York are unbelievable in loyalty.They stayed out on the streets 24 hours a day and cheered us on and thanked us for our work and I felt such a sense of pride....to be a New Yorker and an American!!!!
