Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I remember thinking, as I sat in a business meeting, why did'nt those other guys, turn off their cell phones as requested so there would no interuptions during the presentation that were to made this morning. It's just good etiquet. But cells kept ringing. Finally, there was a rustle of movement at the side of the room and the speaker talking was interupted. The CEO of the sponsoring company that had called this meeting broke in and said, "we are stopping this meeting for awhile because something terrible has happened and the United States has been attacked". He suggested that,if we wanted, we could go into the bar area where a television was showing what had occurred. I along with most hurried down the hallway trying to find this area. I guess I followed the crowd. Finally, there was a television showing a burning building which I didn't recognize that was smoking with plumes of fire coming out of it. I asked somebody what happening.. they seemed uncertain..and was staring along with all of us at something that seemed surreal..then without understanding what I was seeing another plane hit the other tower. It was disbelief that this occurring..it was at this moment that I first thought about my wife, at home, in Akron and wondered if she knew about this. Reality was finally catching up with circumstances and I thought about going home for the first time to be with my family...a 3 hour drive. It was more important, to me, to make sure they were ok then to continue this meeting. Then, to my horror,one of the towers disappeared and I remember seeing the top of building or tower slipping into a cloud of smoke. I think most of us in that room did not believe what we were seeing.... it was'nt long after that I left for home to be family where I should be at a time like this...the meeting went on... with about half the attendance... I never looked backed. 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: One year ago before 9/11 on April 2000, I visited the Twin Towers during a tour around New York. As I step on to the elevator and the numbers increased towards my destination, I had a feeling that this place is really unique and has an important position in our nation. Being a stranger to the World Trade Center, I explored around, only being able to stay in one building. One year later, when I was told by the teacher of my World Geography class that we're going to another class to watch an important news that just happened, a fearful feeling arose in the pit of my stomache. CNN reports that the Twin Towers have been hit by two planes, possibly linked with terrorists. I was perplexed and shocked. The whole class watched in silence as we saw our Two Towers coming down, crushing on the innocent bystanders and the people that were trapped inside. That day was a very sorrrowful, tragic, and angry day for everyone and it remained as a sad stone in our hearts that will last for a long time, maybe forever. One year later, it still hurts me to see what happened on the day our nation was attacked. The bold words of our President. The cries of our people. People jumping out of the Twin Towers. Families lost. Hearts tearing apart. The last words of beloved ones on the plane. Our people standing together as one. The flags that hung in the middle of the flag pole. Our nation striking back. This and more have made a deep and everlasting memory in my heart and I cry every time it is reminded. I thanked my lucky stars for the people who was delayed to go on the exact planes that crashed or the people who were going to work in the Twin Towers that day that didn't go. And I pray for the deceased who have gone. God Bless America! 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 was already sad that day because my mama had died in May, two weeks before moving here from Cleveland, Ohio, and it was her birthday. I was teaching (special education) when my assistant got a call from her daughter. Her daughter was crying. She talked to her and hung up and told me. I turned on the classroom TV. I turned it off when the second plane hit. Many students wanted to know what had happened. I truly didn't know what to tell them. Sept. 11, 2001 will stay with me forever. I mourn those who gave their lives to save others and those left behind, missing their loved ones. I celebrate that the United States of America became strong once again and the world was behind us. I will never forget the United Kingdom playing our National Anthem. I shed a lot of tears that day and for many days that followed. I shed tears today, 1 year later. However, I thank God and ask him to protect those fighting so this terrorism will stop. I pray that someday there will be Peace on Earth as there is in Heaven. Thank you God and God Bless all. This is send with much love towards mankind, because Love can change us all.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It started out as a normal day, just like all the others. I commute to Newport Pavonia, Jersey City from Northern New Jersey, about an hour and fourty minutes each day. Our offices are directly across the river from what was the World Trade Center. My office window on the fifteenth floor did not have the view of the towers, but you could see them from the other side of the building. On September 11th we had followed our normal routine, get to work, get some coffee, chat a few minutes, and start to work. When the first plane hit one of my colleagues came by my office to tell me and others that a plane had gone into the World Trade Center. We all went to the windows to look at the unbelievable site across the river. I will never forget what we all saw that day. The tower was billowing smoke, and you could see a fire line advancing across the building as windows were blown out by the fires. There were at least six floors on fire from the plane's impact. There were around eight of us standing at the windows trying to figure out how it was possible that a plane had hit the tower. We all assumed this was an accident and a pilot had make a terrible mistake or had some kind of medical condition which caused the horrific accident. One of my colleagues saw the second plane approaching, and he mentioned it, but planes were common over the New York skyline and no one paid too much attention. All of our attention was focused on the burning tower and watching before our eyes as more and more floors became engulfed in smoke and flames. We were also wondering about the loss of life from the accident and praying for the safety of the others in the tower. It seemed only a few minutes from the second plane being spotted by my colleague, to the moment of impact into the second tower. We all gasped in horror when the second plane hit, and I knew in my gut that this was no accident...we were under attack. In short order my company declared an emergency closing and asked us all to evacuate the building. We all walked down the fifteen floors to street level, trying to make sense of it all. When we reached the ground we found that the PATH was closed down (the next stop on the subway train was the World Trade Center). Those of us who had commuted to work on the trains started walking to Hoboken, NJ so that we could make our way home. The walk took us about a half hour. We had almost gotten to Hoboken and the trains home when some men who were all standing around a work truck with the radio on informed us that the Pentagon had just been hit. This information just added to our sence of urgency to get out of there and back to our families and homes. Two of the colleagues I walked to Hoboken with had family members that worked in the Trade Center. It was very difficult to see their faces, when both of the towers were billowing smoke all the time we were on foot. When we finallly arrived in Hoboken we all went to our respective train lines to get home. Much to our dismay the trains were not allowed to leave the station until they were full. We sat in Hoboken on the trains for about two hours. There were people with walkmans listening to the news, and sharing the information with the rest of us without access to information. Others were on cell phones getting news from their loved ones at home. We were still sitting in the station waiting to leave when the towers fell. Some of the passengers arriving after us had come from the Financial Center. They had witnessed first hand the people jumping out of the windows, and the towers falling. Many had been on ferries crossing the river when the towers fell. They thought lower Manhattan was gone. It seemed to me that alot of these people were in shock. By this time sitting in the train had become torture. We all wanted to go home, and didn't even know if we would make it out before something else horrible happened. I got up to find the bathroom on the train. I had needed to go since we left the office over two hours before and couldn't delay any longer. I had to go back two or three cars before I found a bathroom car. As I was coming out of the bathroom the train started to move. I was unbelievably relieved. As I was walking back to my friends on the train I got my first glimpse of Lower Manhattan since boarding the train. It was a huge cloud of brown smoke, and the towers were gone. It was almost too much to comprehend. Our train passes through a tunnel on the way in and out of Hoboken. As we approached the tunnel it occurred to me that we could be blown up as we went through the tunnel, and I should go back to my friends so at least I would not be with strangers when I died. With the exception of one woman becoming ill on the way home our train trip went without further incident. My husband drops me off and picks me up at the train station, so I had called him to let him know I was on my way home. He picked me up and we headed towards home. We called the kids along the way to make sure they were alright and that they knew that I was OK. Once we got into town we stopped to get some Chinese food. As we were getting out of the car at the resturant a car pulled out of the parking lot. The license plates said 911 WAR. I was truly spooked. In the days following the attack I found out that the FBI had a website where you could go to report anything suspicious. I went online to report the license plates. I don't know if anything came of it, but it was too weird not to report. We went back to work on the 15th. In all of the train stations there were missing persons posters plastered everywhere. Hundreds upon hundreds of people were all looking for loved ones, and begging anyone who might have seen them alive to call them. It was truly heartbreaking. The view from the office was unbelievably different from the view on September 11th. Instead of the twin towers burning and billowing smoke, there was just a pit of smoke. The fires and smoke were there for months afterward. I read somewhere that the WTC fires were the longest burning fires in history. About three weeks later I had a class to go to for work in New York City. I had not been there since the attack. A part of me was dreading going in, but once I resigned myself that I was going I felt the overwhelming need to go to Ground Zero. I will never forget what I saw there. My company had previously had offices in Seven World Trade, which I had to go to from time to time for work. When I went to view the site Seven World Trade was no more. Along with many other buildings it had fallen in the days and weeks after the towers. The debris pile was unbelievable. There were six to seven stories of rubble where the towers used to stand. The air was foul with smoke, and a horrible stench. I still don't know if it was the result of burnt buildings, or it was the smell of death itself. I hope never to find out. I was compelled to take pictures of it all, for my own reference. Somehow having been there made it more real for me, as everything still had a sense of surrealism. We found out later that five people had died from my town. One person was Father Michal Judge, and another was Geremy Glick. Yet another was my teenage daughters friend of a friends Mother. Of course we did not know about all of this until much later. Just over a year has passed since the attack. I still don't like low flying planes overhead, but I can finally look away when I see a plane without having to follow it across the sky until it is out of sight to make sure it does not hit anything. I worked from home on September 11th this year. With all the rememberances I found myself crying for most of the morning, but I can't even imagine how the families of all those lost were able to get through the day. They all need our love and prayers. Say a prayer for all the fatherless and motherless children and those left behind to pick up the pieces of shattered lives. I wish peace and goodwill to all who take the time to read this. Remember to never take what you have for granted, and make sure all of the people you love know how you feel and that you don't take a single moment of this precious life for granted. God Bless.....

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was teaching my 8th grade history class. Another teacher ran into the classroom and told me that the pentagon had just been threatened. I immediately turned on cnn. The first image that we saw was the first plane hitting the world trade center. The whole class went silent. Even though I teach in N.C. I still have a lot of kids who move in from N.Y.. The next shock came 5 min. later when the second plane hit. We prayed. Our class had children from many faiths but on this day we prayed together as one. The rest of the morning was spent in an emotional fog trying to make sense of the events of the morning. 9-11 taught my class the price of freedom. It taught them the meaning of community. The tragic events of that day opened their eyes to the greatness of their country and the humanity of its people.

I phoned my wife to turn on the TV. Got home only to catch the second plane hitting the second tower live on TV. I was gobsmacked, my wife was all quiet, my four year old daughter knew that something was not right. I know I kept repeating "Oh my God" for the next hour, probably more as I zapped from one channel to the next. I cursed, I cried, emotions were running high as I watched and watched and watched....... My heart will always be with you NY people.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I can remember that Tuesday morning of last year as if it were yesterday. My day started around 6A.M. when my sister Hannah and I had to get up that mroning for school. The day seemed so beautiful-everyone was happy and cheerful. When we arrived at school, kids and teachers walked around with smiles on their faces with anticipation to start the new school year. While sitting in my history classroom, the school secretary came over the loud speaker to dismiss the 10th graders to the sophmore meeting. As we filed into the auditorium, the new principal and head assistant welcomed us in. They talked about basic school rules and the approaching homecoming dance. After asking questions about the dance, the new principal spoke out about two students that had died the past spring from meningitis. He did this so that we knew he was there for us if we needed someone to talk to. With the depression of two fallen school mates fresh in our minds, we were ordered to our 6th period classes. As I and many others walked back to class, horrific images of a plane crashing into a building and the Pentagon on fire covered all the televisions in the school. Not knowing what was really going on, we watched with our eyes glued to the screen and open mouths. An eerie chill swept through my body and endless tears fell from my face when the images registered in my mind. Since the moment in class, I scribbled every single detail that was on the news. A regular school day warped into a day of horror-for everyone in America. When my sister and I got home, my mother rushed us to church to ask God to be with all of America. We sat there and recited passages from the Bible-not knowing what was going to happen next. I continued praying and watching the news-hoping for closure, especially for those who lost someone that tragic day. That 11th day in September, 2001 will forever be in my mind. In closing, I'd like to give my condolences to those who knew someone that perished in the attacks. My prayers go out to you and the fallen heroes. God IS going to be with you...

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had the day off so I had slept in a bit late that day.I also had the house to myself since my parents had spent the previous night down at my Grandmothers beachouse. I woke up at around 11:00-11:30am and walked out into the parlor from my parents room where I slept the night before. Walking into the bathroom to wash the sleep from my eyes I gazed towards the tv I had left on the night before I as usually do to get to sleep. I saw the black clouds and the little Today Show New York City tag and it didn't even hit me that it was such a horrible incident.I figure there had been some kind of explosion of some sort. Then I called my memere to see if she knew what exactly had happened.By this time I had my ear to the phone and the tv as I listened from both what happened.I remember my jaw just dropping as I was told the news about the towers,the pentagon and later the plane crashing in Pennsylvania. I watched as they replayed the horrific scenes at the Towers and just kept saying to myself this can't be real it just can't. I have never been to New York but for some reason I felt just as shocked and even scared. I immediately called my parents at the beachhouse.Knowing they weren't in any danger was something I already knew but I just had to speak to them anyway. I still look up when I hear a plane,or look out the window when I hear one over head.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: For me, that day started normally enough: Attending an early morning sales meeting in the local appliance chain store which I worked. The meeting ended a few minutes before 9:00 AM local time, and I headed to my car for the drive to work. When I started my car, the radio came on and I noticed quickly that the program I usually listened to was preempted by news coverage of something that happened. Just a few moments after I started driving, a solumn voice reported that "the south tower just collapsed." Only then did I learn the true horror of the unfolding events. When I arrived at the store, they were already showing the live coverage. It was so strange to see the single tower standing alone. But shortly after I arrived, it too collapsed, leaving nothing. Later, we received a message from our company president telling us to stop playing the coverage in the store because it was detrimental to sales. His cold attitude towards these events only reenforced my dislike for that company, and I was happy to leave the following year. I'll never forget the empty skies during the airline grounding. The worried faces of salesperson and customer alike as they discussed the tragedy. The continual images of disaster and doom played over and over on television. My faith in flying and the airlines remains as unshaken as it was before 9/11. Shortly I will board my 737 for job training in another state. While I am there, 9/11/02 will come and go while I am safely on the ground. And I will return home on another 737. I trust all will go normally. And I don't believe terrorists will strike on 9/11/02, although there might be some small copycat event such as the Cessna in Florida was. A senseless terrorist attack on America is foolish. When an anthill is stepped on, there is a moment of pause, and then the ants come boiling out, fighting furiously to protect their home. Such as it is with America. May the ants always win.

When I was told of the first plane hitting one of the Twin Towers I searched for the nearest TV and sat there glued to the set, just watching and praying. And then I realized that I didn't want to have my baby today. Not today. I prayed to let me carry her a little longer. I had her 3 days later.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I will never forget 9-11. I woke up that day to celebrate my daughters birthday. It was her second. I woke up went downstairs and turned the television on. The first thing i seen was the first tower burning. I ran upstairs to tell my mom, but she already had it on. What we thought to have been an accident; turned out to be a disaster. I was pregnant with my second child so it really upset me to see this. As we were watching the second plane hit that's when we knew this was going to be war!! I was waiting for my husband to come for the party and when he did he had no idea what had happaned. I took him to the t.v. to see, he was in shock. He was the one who mentioned that he bet washington D.C. was going to be hit. I wanted to spend as much time with my daughter being as though it was her birthday. We took her to the park and by the time we came home my mom told us of another plane hitting the pentagon and one crashing in pa. Which most have flown right above our heads. I was so scared after that day things will never be the same for my daughter. Because of the tragedies I went into labor a month early. My second daughter was born 9.27.01. I pray for our soldiers who will began to fight this day of 3.19.03. I pray for those who have lost love ones on the infamous day. I pray for those who will lose love ones in this upcoming war. And most of all I pray for this great nation. God Bless Everyone!! 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: Two Towers Vanish When the World Trade Centers were hit, I was on a bus evauation drill. The bus driver was the one who informed us that the towers had been hit. The news of this spread like a plauge. At first no one believed it, especially me. The teachers let the students watch it on T.V. Then everyone found out that, not only was one tower hit, but the second tower too. Before I knew that the second plane hit, I thought it was a accident. I could not believe that the towers were hit, and no one could comprehend what theit eyes had seen. The rest of the day was solemn and quiet. We still had to go to class and learn, though no one could consentrate on anything but talking to one another about what had happened. My life has not really changed at all, except for a few minor changes. I understand the U.S. and its histor better. For example, I was never that much into history, but ever since 9/11/02 I've been more interested in the past. Also, I looked back on wars, and documents, and other diffenent things of that sort. I looked back on them because now that I have experienced war and terrorist acts, I now will know what it was like to live during those past times of battle and how damaging it is. The only other thing that has changed is that I feel more united with other citizens. The reason I feel more united is because everyone has remebered that we, the people of the united states are one and should act in unity. They remember that, that is what the U.S.A. is all about. September 11th should be remembered as the day that the U.S. became more united than seperated. 9/11/02 should also be considered the day of a blessing in disguise. This is because everyone understood that all the people in the U.S. are one. We are not separated people, and now everyone can see that we should never stop working together as the United States of America! CJ S.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My life and the lives of many others have been affected by the attacks on 9/11. That fateful day one year ago the Taliban terrorists hijacked four planes and crashed them into three different locations, two into the world trade centers one into the side of the pentagon, and one in Summerset County. After the first plane crashed in the trade center panic spread quickly and a great uncertainty of weather it was a mistake or intentional was left in the balance. Fifteen minutes later when the second plane crashed America was certain that we were under attack. Later we found out about the other crashes and this just worsened our condition. These attacks really brought up that America is more vulnerable than people think and that we are just as innocent as any other country. My family was not greatly affected by this though we had some connections with people that were lost with the towers. As a family we stayed together as much as possible while our country was under attack but we also persevered the following months and went on with our daily lives as normal as possible. These attacks were not expected so it hit my family as well as our friends and neighbors pretty hard. While my peers and I were at school and we heard the announcement of the attack on the towers we did not even come close to comprehending what was going down. We imagined a little bit of an explosion or something smaller like that. When we returned home to our parents and loved ones we felt better but the images of destruction displayed by the television filled us with feelings of disgust, anger, and sadness. This was a true day of reckoning for America. I was lucky that no one close to me was hurt but I do feel for the families that have lost their loved ones. I do not think that America will ever forget about 9/11 but its not like any of us want to remember. Perhaps this day where so many were lost will be remembered as a national holiday or maybe like Pearl Harbor it will just be thought of as the day America was attacked.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11, 2001 changed my life totally. Over a period of 24 years previous to 9/11, I confronted the problem of terrorism in American universities directly. For four years, at UCLA, I succeeded a professor whose house had been bombed by terrorists. I was caught in the middle of the Lebanese civil war in the late 1970s and 1980s right on the UCLA campus. Later, I also had to confront a variety of other potentially violent situations including the Iranian revolution, and other conflicts. I received death threats from anonymous sources, and always faced the specter of an attack on me, my wife, our home, and while I was in class. Again in 1994, a supporter of the blind shaikh, "spiritual" leader of the first trade tower boming in 1993, and of Usama bin Laden disrupted my class at another California university. I was not a Muslim, but I taught a class about Islam. The "student" not only disrupted the class, but issued my wife and I a death threat during office hours. I silenced the "student" in the class, but he continued to harrass my students, most of whom were non-Muslim Americans. For 6 months, the duration of the class, I lived in anticipation of an attack on myself and my wife. I continued to teach the class and confront the young man, who was eventually removed from the class, but only after a long time. Strange to say, before 9/11 I could never speak openly about these experiences. Some people even thought I was to blame for attacks and threats made against me by people with whom I had little previous contact. Constantly, I recall one young man - formerly a member of a Lebanese armed militia, who attended my classes for all four years at UCLA. After He was very quiet, intellectual, and mild. Shortly after I left UCLA in 1982, the police arrested him with two or three others. He had a bomb ready to explode at a Middle eastern consulate in LA. His numerous visits to my office hours, and his mere presence have always remained as a specter in my mind. Numerous others also come to mind from time to time, especially the young Afghan supporter of Usama bin Laden who uttered a death threat to me in 1994. Finding anyone who could understand the terrorism issue before 9/11 was a real challenge. Still today, there are people, including newscasters, who say that there was no terrorism in the U. S. before 9/11. Not only does this idea deny the destructive attack on Oklahoma City, but it demonstrates to me that people still have very little interest in understanding the prelude to 9/11. It exists in a vacuum - one massive trauma, and that's the end of it. Two things happened to me on 9/11. Emotionally, I was paralyzed by the events I saw unfold on the screen. Also, though, my own experiences in confronting terrorists came rushing back. About that time, I had a nightmare in which the enemy had captured me. They decided to execute me, and I had one night to prepare myself. I did not care whether I lived or died, though I had a picture of my wife form which I drew some solace. The idea of death brought a sense of sweet happiness. My response on 9/11 was similar. I did not understand why all the stores closed or people felt that the terrorists targeted them personally. If death would come to me, it is no different than what I had already faced at times over a twenty year period. I vowed on that day to fight terrorism in the schools, in the U. S., and through writing. I have written a book about the issues, and about my experiences. I grieved intensely for the victims of 9/11 over a very long period. I felt especially terrible about the lost infants who had died with their mothers that day. I have found much more compassion and understanding for my own history among Americans since 9/11. People have realized that in order to confront terrorists, one must face them, not hide. Likewise, it is not possible to promote a society that favors and promotes the growth of terrorist cells in the midst of one's own society. The small Muslim group that sent the young "student to disrupt my class in 1994, and threaten me with death, played host to Bin Laden's number 2 man in 1995, just one year after the event in my class. Number 2 - Ayman al-Zawahiri - raised money in U. S. dollars on that trip to support terrorism and ultimately the trade tower attacks of 9/11. Yet, after the threats against me in 1994, I was blamed for the violence of the Bin Laden supporter who disrupted my class. I had done nothing to provoke the attack, and one official of the university blamed me. Fortunately, he was not in a position to review my case, or make official pronouncements. He was the same sort of professor as the professor in New Mexico who proclaimed loudly that anyone who could ram a jet plane into the Pentagon had his vote. Such wrong-headedness still prevails in America in my view. The people who supported the young Afghan who threatened me are still around, and have respectable jobs. The young Afghan himself, as far as I know, is still walking around. Indeed, the former Lebanese terrorist arrested with a bomb in 1982, has now left prison, and has pursued a career here in the United States. Multiculturalism is good as long as it supports a greater civic consciousness and responsibility to society in America. If multiculturalism acts as a cover for terrorism, as it has here in the United States, then 9/11 has only heightened our consciousness without making genuine changes. To this day, the images of my own past, and of 9/11, haunt me. Greater security in police, surveillance, and baggage inspection is not enough to defeat terrorism in our midst. September 11 has only made my own experiences seem more real to me, and sadly, the path of the future unless Americans change their thinking. My memories of 9/11 represent for me a return to the constant feeling in my mind that I am under threat, that I will die soon, and that it does not matter, to me at least. In order to defeat terrorism in the end, that is the way Americans must think.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband and I were home he was sleeping and I was on a conference call with my job. Our names are John & Kayleen Lyman of Santa Claria, California. September 11, the day before my birthday. The morning in So. California was so beautiful. It was a day that went from beauty to pure sadness and you could knowlonger appreciate the day outside. I was on this call with 15 other co workers, our manager had said, "Have any of you seen the news?" The call was at 6:45am and most of us just had our coffee in our hands and in our home offices. Our Manager then started to say what was going on and by then we all had our TV's on and were in complete disbelief on what we were seeing. I was in such shock and so confused that I could not beleive what I was seeing and almost could not believe that it was real.. My husband was sleeping I remember running into our bedroom raising my voice, babe! get up! get up NOW! You are not going to beleive what is happening to our nation! We immediately put a tape in the VCR and started recording from that moment until the tape stopped. It was a day to truly reflect on how special life is and how we should view life as a gift and be more thankful we are here. I was on the phone most of the day calling family and friends just to make sure everyone was ok, I was truly fortunate that I did not have family or friends in the areas effected, That afternoon my husband and I went to church and thanked our father for our lives and prayed for the nation. We took a moment and just started reading scriptures from the bible to one another and stayed for a good hour just reading. Thank you for allowing us this opportunity to write this down. Gob Bless us all and this nation that is so precious to all TRUE Americans.

Watching Bryan Gumble cook while standing in my living room sipping coffee. There was a Breaking News flash and the unimaginable unfolded before my eyes. Both towers of the World Tade Center assaulted by jet aircraft, blowing through the secod tower as though it were paper. I gathered myself, washed my breakfast dishes, dressed, packed a few items in my bag (photographs of mny children and grandchildren), emailed my children my love, and headed off to my friend's house and then to touch my New York daughter and fetch my grandson from his school. It was important to stop in an open church and pray. Thank you for this exhibit.
