Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I remember the morning quite vividly as i was heading to work at the hospital early as I did every day.I am an early riser so it ended up that i have always been the early person.this morning like so many others I stopped at tyhe local circle K for the morning paper and my usual dark roast coffee.the radio was on and as i entered the door the news came over the radio.the girls looked at me in disbelief.Could this be a practical joke,remembering War of the Worlds. Needless to say i made a hasty exit to make my way to the hospital to turn the tv on to see if what my ears had heard was indeed true.I told everyone that i came into contact with upon my arrival what i had heard.They were like me,they could not beleive that this was happening.only after i had gone back to turn on a tv and insist that they do the same did they realize they reality before us. In my years as a medical professional i've seen my share of tragedies but none could compare to this.Thousands of miles away and it ripped at the very soul of all Americans.Not a day goes by when I don't stop to say a little pray.A prayer for those who lost loved ones and one thanking the lord that some of us were spared that loss. This has been a horrific tragedy that will take years to mend.I'm not real sure that we will ever totally understand what led up to the events of sept 11,2001. It's hard for me to accept that there is this kind of hatred in the world,this total disrespect for life.No god regardless of religion would look down on this with other than complete and total distain.Pray that we can overcome our differences worldwide to prevent this from ever occuring again no mater whose soil it might be on.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband and I were watching Little House on the Prarie when the newscaster broke in with the news. As soon as we heard the basics, we turned to CNN to get the whole story. We both stared at the T.V. in disbelief as history was played out on our screen. We cried when we saw the images of people running from the building and jumping out of windows. We cried when we saw the stories of people looking for their missing loved ones. We cried when we heard the stories of the heros who gave their lives trying to save the lives of others. We cried when we heard of the incredibly heroic acts of the passengers of the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. We cried a lot that day and in the days to come as we heard all the stories of the families who searched hospitals and morgues for their missing members both hoping to find them, and at the same time praying they weren't there. We cried when the last hopes of finding any survivors was gone. Then an amazing thing happened. We all seemed to forget for awhile that we were black or white, Mexican or Latino, democrate or republican, gay or straight, Protestant or Catholic. For a while those things were irrelevant. We all came together in a common cause and remembered what patriotism is all about. We remembered that it is in God we trust. We remembered that emergency personnell have dangerous jobs with little pay for our benefit. We remembered that we are suppose to be thankful for our families and try to love our neighbors. We remembered that this country with all its' faults is ours and we will defend our freedoms. For awhile we remembered that we are all just Americans. Please, let's never forget again.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I have to first say that even though I lost no one on that dreadfull day. I lost a lot of fellow men and women like my self just trying to do their part as a member of this great nation. I was unresponsive for a while after I saw the plains hit and I realised that I was not watching a movie and that this was for real. I saw the plain hit and my heart just broke in two. Being a mother of three all I could think about was getting to my children and holding them close.I cried for days and keep my children home for a while right next to me. I tried to explain to them what was going on and that we were going to be safe. All the while I was praying for that to be true. I have seen some things in my life but this will never let go of me. It is one year later and I still fear for my childern when I send them out the door to get on the bus. I am more aware of who my childern ride on the bus with! I am more aware of who my neighbors are! I hate to have to get on a plain. I do not think anyone will ever forget that day. I pray for all the familys of those who were lost and thank those who helped save those who could be found. MAY GOD BLESS THIS NATION! I LOVE ALL MY FELLOW AMERICANS AND PEACE BE WITH YOU!!

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11th, 2001, just another day in the life of a teenager I thought. I completed my morning routine as I do everyday, then walked downstairs to feast on my morning meal. I poured me a bowl of Cheerios and flipped the TV on, the scene that I saw made me drop my bowl and gaze in amazement at what I saw. Smoke billowing from the upper floor of World Trade Center 1, I stood there transfixed at the screen, my mind couldn?t comprehend what was happening. First normal logic kicked in and I thought that the plane must have malfunctioned and somehow smashed into the Trade Center, then it happened. A second jet smashing into World Trade Center 2, I now knew that this was no accident, someone intended to happen. I knew that this was a bleak day in the face of our nation, and I soon realized it when it was reported that something, possibly a helicopter had crashed into the Pentagon. On a recent vacation, I had flown to New York, and seen the towers from the window of my flight, the towers seems immense and seemed just to leap out of the ground and proclaim ?Here I am world.? It was now time for me to head to school, and I did so on a somber mood, knowing that hundreds of people in those towers would not live to see their loved ones again. In my first period, my teacher had the radio on, and I heard that my worst fears had come true, tower two was down. It seemed like a knife was plunged deep into my chest, I could almost feel the thousands of voices that were now silenced. The rest of the period seemed to just blur together, Mr. Gonzales?s Spanish lecture all seemed to go in one ear and out the other. I just sat in horror in 3rd period as I saw the aftermath of the damage, both towers were gone, and now we have just learned that a plane has crashed into the Pentagon. The day that I had woken up on, just thinking that it was going to be just a normal day in the life of a 15 year old, turned out to be one of the one of the hardest to comprehend in my entire life.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was sitting in class, working on Math along with everyone else in the room. It was just another day of school. The principal's voice came over the loudspeaker, but we all just figured it was a routine announcement. Were we ever wrong! He announced that a plane had just crashed head on into the Pentagon and two other planes had flown directly into the twin towers sending them crashing to the ground. It all seemed unreal. He asked anyone who had parents working at the Pentagon to report to the office. Everyone was in a sense of terror, panic, and disbelief. I know for me, it was more disbelief. How could this be happening on just a typical September school day? Why today? Everyone was on their cell phones or in line at the office phone attempting to contact their parents, friends, or relatives. There was a sense of urgency to find out if they had been directly affected. Luckily no one in my family was a victim of this terrorism, but several people I know lost loved ones. It was a day no one will ever forget, a day to go down in history, September 11, 2001.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My story starts out about a year and a half before September 11th. I was going through AIT(anvanced individual training)to be a cook for the U.S. Army at Fort Lee, Virginia. For about a week, I had strange feelings that something bad was going to happen, but I could not figure out what exactly it was. I only knew that it was going to involve a couple thousand people, and that it was going to happen either on Fort Lee or in the general direction towards New York City. At the time I figured that it was going to happen within a matter of days if not weeks. I confronted my senior drill sergeant about it and I was blown off. Eventually, these feelings went away, and I did not dwell on the matter anymore. Until that dreaded day. I flew out of Seattle airport on July 4th for Camp Casey, in Tongducheon, South Korea, where I was going to be stationed. I had been there a couple of months before 9/11, so I had time to settle in, and I knew who the jokers were. So about 2200 hours on September, a couple of those jokers passed my right outside my barracks, saying that the WTC towers and the pentagon had been hit. Because of who they were I ignored them. Then half an hour later one of the NCO'S came outside and confirmed the information, saying that it was all over the news. I stepped into the building into the dayroom, and just sat there staring at the news and the pictures of the towers and the pentagon on fire, along with recordings of the second tower being hit. After an hour, I proceeded to call home to find out if my family was all right, and they were all in a frenzy because they could not get in contact with my uncle who is retired navy, and was still working in the pentagon. Needless to say, I did not sleep well that night, nor could I work efficiently the next day. Finally, at about 1600, I was able to call home again, and my mother was able to tell me that my uncle was alright--he had been in the pentagon only a matter of hours before the attack. I was relieved for myself, but two of my coworkers had family missing from the WTC site. They found out a couple of days later that their missing relatives were dead, but not recovered. The aftereffects started residing after about a month, and finally, back in about mid-february, I was restationed--this time to D.C. After having been here a month, I have finally gotten the nerve to see the pentagon. So, on this date, March 31, 2002, I went to the pentagon, and saw the construction, and just started crying. Then I proceeded to go to Arlington Cemetary, where I saw the display of letters and pictures, and I decided to tell my story. I thank God that me and my family is alright, but what about all the other families??? All I can say in response is this "WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT?"

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: A major question on all of our minds that fateful day was "Where Was GOD? I read this article in the "Homeless Voice" and had to share it: For anyone who thinks that God was on vacation on 9/11, this should change your mind. For those of you that know that God was busy on Tuesday, this will confirm it. First of all, he was trying to discourage anyone from taking this flight. Those four flights together held over 1000 passengers and there were only 266 aboard. He was on 4 commercial flights giving terrified passengers the ability to stay calm. Not one of the family members who was called by a loved one on one of the hijacked planes said that passengers were screaming in the background. On one of the flights He was giving strength to passengers to try to overtake the hijackers. He was busy trying to create obstacles for employees at the World Trade Center. After all, only around 20,000 were at the towers when the first jet hit. Since the buildings hold over 50,000 workers, this was a miracle in itself. How many of the people who were employed at the WTC told the media that they were late for work or they had traffic delays? He was holding up two 110 story buildings so that 2/3 of the workers could get out. I was so amazed that the top of the towers didn't topple when the jets impacted taking many more lives than it had already. Although this is without a doubt the worst thing i have ever seen, I can see GOD's miracle in every bit. I keep thinking that i can't imagine going through such a difficult time and NOT believing in God. Life would be hopeless. for all the people and families that suffer i am so so sorry. f.spofford 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: September 11,2001 was a horrific experience for me. I had survived the Oklahoma City bombing of April 19. The sight of the buildings burning and collapsing brought that same terror that I thought I had finally gotten over. My heart wept for all the innocent lives that were lost on that fateful day. I just continue to pray that no-one else will have to go through the same circumstances that I and all those people in Oklahoma and New York went through. Today is the 1st annivesary of 9/11 and it hurts just as much today as it did then. Will we ever be truely safe again, with our heads in the clouds, innocent in our beliefs that no-one would dare commit such an act on us or that it would never happen here??? No, our innocence is lost but we still stand proudly. Our heads are below the clouds and we keep a watchful eye on our enemies now.....a lesson too late to learn but one we'll never forget. kris 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: On the day of September 11, 2001, I was watching the television at my home as I saw the unremarkeable site of the twin towers fall to the ground. I could not believe what I had seen. I thought to myself who would do such a horrible thing. Take innocent lives for pride for which the only people they were trying to hurt in the end was themselves. As much as we grieve for those who have left this earth, we will never give up and they did this to make a whole in our world and it did not work. They thought we were weak and it would keep us down but it only made us stronger. Together we could do anything. I would like to say we are true AMERICANS!!!!!!!! My prayer goes out to those who have lost someone special in their lives and those who did what they thought was the right thing to do in saving lives. Just Remember never give up faith in anything.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was getting ready for work when my husband came in and told me of reports of a small plane crashing into the World Trade Center. We turned on the TV and were watching the coverage of the first Tower when we saw the second plane crash into the second Tower. We both looked at each other and said, "These aren't accidents!" I finished getting ready for work while trying to catch any news on what exactly was happening. I felt numb. When I got on the road,I noticed that everyone seemed to have the same look on their face. No one seemed to be in a hurry like they usually are. When I got to work I turned on my radio to try to keep up with what was going on. It was difficult to focus on my work. I kept thinking about the people on the airplanes and in the Towers. I can only hope that they didn't have time to feel anything. Then came the reports of a plane crashing into the Pentagon and into the ground in Pennsylvania. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Then came the sound of the first Tower going down. I sat in my office and cried. It just didn't seem real, but I knew it was. When the second Tower came down, I cried again. Our corporate office in Dallas put out the word that if people were too overcome by the events that we should go home. I stayed for the remainder of the day. I watched the news from the moment I got home until late that night. I just couldn't look away. The terrorists who did this are cowards and I fully support President Bush in his efforts. Yesterday, 9/11/02, I saw the list of names of the victims in our local paper. It brought back all of those same feelings from last year. It also made me see the magnitude of this horrific crime. So many innocent people lost their lives for nothing. They are all heroes in my eyes.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was getting ready for work in the morning and my husband, Jody, yelled for me to come look at the news. I could see a live picture of the World Trade Center with a gaping hole in it and fire and smoke billowing out of it. While the anchor person was describing what was happening, we watched the second plane hit the other tower. The anchor person couldn't talk straight. You could hear them saying "was that another plane?" and "what's going on with our machine, is it replaying?" and then realizing what was happening, "you have seen it live, another plane hit the World Trade Center". They showed people jumping from the buildings and you could hear the screaming. My husband and I cried for the people there. I told Jody that I wish we could help, because it wasn't going to be long before those buildings collapsed, with everyone in them. It was only about two hours later that the first one did collapse. It was an amazing, astonishing, horrifying sight. Smoke and dust everywhere, people on fire, running through the streets barely able to breathe. I work in a law office and everyone was glued to the television, each of us, men and women alike, holding our boxes of tissue because it was so hard to see the television through the tears. Within 15-30 minutes the second building collapsed. We all began to wonder if the hurt was going to stop. I remember feeling myself lose my breath when we heard it. The death toll up to 700 plus already. We figured it would be in the thousands. People everywhere started pulling together. Sending money, supplies, volunteers to help with clean up and rescue missions. I went to at 30 stores looking for a flag to put up that weekend. Three months later, several stores were still sold out. Of all the things I remember the most, it was the amazing feeling of love everyone around me felt. I still make sure to call my family and hug my friends all I can. 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: My morning was rather usual and began early by taking a walk with a neighbor around a few blocks to get some exercise. I came home just in time to be with my husband as he was getting ready to leave for work. Our phone rang and it was my friend to tell me to immediately turn on the TV and watch the news. She said that an explosion had hit one of the WTC towers in New York City and the Today show was televising the news of the building being hit. My heart began to have a sinking feeling that we were under horrible attack and lots of people were going to be involved in the horror. As my mine was dealing with these thoughts, I saw the other plane going toward the second tower and saw the explosion as it hit the building. I knew, at that time, our country would never be the same and we would never feel the freedom of protection that we have so taken for granted over my entire lifetime. Through out this last year, I get up each morning and "thank" the Lord for his love and mercy over each us and for our great country that we live in. He is the true answer to our lives and each day is only on loan for us to use to glorify him. His love is sufficient and will carry us through the rest of time. I pray that each of the people that have lost loved ones, lost jobs, lost places that were everyday parts of their lives. For the people that risked their lives to help others through these many minutes, days, and months, for Americans that have had to deal with this terrible mark on our country, I lift them up in prayer and that God's healing hand will comfort their torn sprits, heal their broken hearts, and unite each of us together with a love that comes only from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Tell us your story: I was sitting in my dorm room on that tuesday watching Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan when suddenly someone burst into my room asking if I had a blank video tape. I shut off the vcr and saw why he wanted the tape. It was like something from a movie, the images that played over and over that day. I was glued to the television for the whole day; in fact I didn't even go to my class that night. When I told the prof. the following week, that I was sorry for missing class, but I couldn't leave the coverage, he said that he didn't hold attendance against anyone that night and that he even dismissed quite a bit early so that everyone could go home and be with their families and reflect on the day. I will never forget that tuesday or the sunday after it when I had to preach about what happened in church.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I reference everything in life into before or after September 11. Everything before that date seems more innocent and gentle, and everything since then seems dangerous and threatening. The whole world has changed into something I am still trying to understand and get used to. I was at home on September 11, in the potting shed in my garden. It was 2:46 pm in Amsterdam when it happened. My partner came outside and said "you'd better come insode and turn on the TV. Something bad has happened at the World Trade Center". I thought he meant the Trade Center here in Amsterdam. When I turned on the TV I saw the World Trade Center tower in flames. It looked like a disaster movie. My partner and I just sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the TV and holding hands. We saw the second plane in the distance and I asked my partner if he thought it was a rescue plane. He said he didn't think so. Then it hit the other tower. I really don't remember my reaction, but I must have screamed. It was the most terrible thing I had ever seen in my life. I called my family in America many times in the next hour. Thye don't live in NYC or Washington, but I was afraid the whole country was going to be under attack. The day just became more and more terrifying with every new update. Even though I was in europe, I couldnt have been more shocked if I was there. When the buildings fell down I just curled up into a ball and my partner held me. I don't know what more I can say about that day except that it took me many months to get over it. I was anxious and scared and panicky for a long time. I still think about it almost every day, and check the terrorist threat level every day. If I live to be 100 years old IO will never forget how terrible it was to see something like that happen. May God stop anything like that from ever happening again.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: WTC - 9/12 I work for a local hospital, and spent the 11th and 12th answering phone calls from people desperately looking for their loved ones. I had the late shift on the 12th, and that was the heaviest and hardest. Only one out of 200 names could be confirmed as treated and released. The unique grief of the hospitals in the area was that we stood ready for massive casualties, and there were none. My co-worker, a young man named Chris, and I were alone in the office for six hours, taking calls from every part of the country, not able to help them. We finally got out of there at 11:15 pm. His girlfriend, Carolyn, an x-ray technician, had appeared out of nowhere, wearing a thin white sweater and green scrubs, with a very grim look on her face. "I was just there." She pointed to a building across the street. "From where we are, now, to there, there is the rubble, where the buildings used to be. But it's massive. It's so crazy. Everything is everywhere. I'm going back. They need eyewash." She said other things I can't remember, but the main thing was, she was going back. I toyed for a moment with going home and drinking myself to sleep in front of CNN, then looked at Chris and the three of us were in her Pathfinder, on our way to the ER for bottles of eyewash. Chris and I put on green scrubs and made sure our hospital badges were displayed, and we took off. It was midnight, and we were virtually alone on the road. They were in the front, talking quietly. I was in the back with my head against the cold glass window, tired, and anxious to see the destruction. From the Verrazano Bridge, we got our first look at the massive cloud of smoke and dust, glowing white from the searchlights, spreading out into a thick gray fog. The remaining buildings were sharp, black silhouettes. We were stopped at the entrance of the Brooklyn Queens Tunnel by a police officer, who waved us through after he saw the supplies, badges and scrubs. We followed an empty flatbed through the tunnel and came out on the other side. The Pathfinder we were in crawled knee-high through fire trucks, cranes, military vehicles and flatbed trucks, making tracks in the deep dust that covered everything and everyone. The landscape was foreign- gray and muffled. With a backdrop of a black night, reality was redefined as something hard to touch, hard to see and hard to swallow. It was the silence of an awful snowfall obliterating familiar ground. Green traffic signs hung sideways pointing down. Ghosts in colorless uniforms doing urgent jobs already routine. There was no point of reference, no relevant direction, no sense that anyone still alive had ever been there before. ?This is where I parked before. Look. There?s that infant car seat I told you about.? We parked in an empty area near a gray building with gray windows. Alone in the gray was a gray car seat on the gray ground. I stepped out of the car and onto the soft surface of a gray new world. ?Come on.? We pulled the supplies out of the back, and followed her around the corner. Up until that point, there were glimpses, flashes of smoky light, empty spaces where I remembered walls. We turned the corner and shrank into specks of dust. The sad remains of a disturbed landscape leaned inside itself, supporting the weight of the smoke and bright lights, exposed from the inside out. Ruins and victims of violence and gravity lay mangled and random, twisted, charred, broken, betrayed, murdered and terrified, framed out by a cold night at the very edge of the ending day. Proportion was distorted by slashes across the face of a 30-story building that was left standing, cracks from sidewalk to roof. The sky was black, the smoke was gray, the twisted metal, concrete, glass, rubble, was sharpened and defined by the shadows cast by the brilliant white work-lights; no colors flowed, down through the black channels of the cracks made by the lights, through mounds, over down around, to the ground, which was covered with paper. Sheets of paper, memos, invoices, triplicate forms, records, 8 ? x 11, untorn, unclaimed, unimportant pushed-out leaves fallen from shaken trees. The sounds I heard from machines, from people, from my own throat swallowing, were secrets whispered against the night dulled with dust. To breathe meant to taste the air, the sharp, unknown smells and floating particles and atoms of people and things once whole. The pull on my senses was so complete I felt the vacuum, the lack of space that pulled my breath, my lungs, my heart and essence in and out in waves, and I was replaced to the core by the absolute immensity of the cold intention of chaos. The triage area where the first aid was occurring was set up in the lobby of a nearby building. We were given facemasks, goggles and rubber gloves, and were told where to put the supplies. Aside from a dog that was receiving aid for a cut paw, the only other medical activity was the washing out of the eyes of the rescue workers. This was being improvised by bending the sharp end of a hypodermic needle into an ?L? shape, holding up the eyelid, and washing out the affected area. There were about a dozen volunteers walking around wearing scrubs of various colors, all from different hospitals. Among the firefighters in all their rescue gear, I felt incredibly underdressed. Chris and I stood at the base of an escalator, looking for ways to help. We heard they needed an area cleared so that cots could be set up, so we decided to organize the space. There were large boxes of clothing, sweaters, t-shirts, socks and underwear, which had been piled up, unneeded, in the middle of the floor. There were blankets, toothbrushes, mouthwash, band-aids, half-eaten lunches and half-dozen stacks of Poland Spring bottled water scattered, gray and untouched. There were three or four unrecognizable gray mounds on the floor, which I thought were blankets but turned out to be sleeping firefighters. Carolyn said ?Come on,? again, and we followed her up the unmoving escalator. ?They told me about this.? She led us to jagged-edged opening in a gray wall, and we looked down. From that view we could see the entire rescue effort taking place. If God and Creation are painted on the ceiling of the Cistine Chapel, this is the scene of Destruction Michelangelo would paint on the floors of Hell. Clusters of teams of firefighters, dogs, jackhammers, welders, flashlights, paramedics, crawling over the rubble of smoking, twisted-metal mounds, looking for signs of life, finding only bloody pieces of it. We had to keep moving. No one stands in one place too long, especially to stare. All grief was in another gray pile somewhere, under some wall or stairway, not yet needed. At one point we became part of a river of firefighters heading towards a point in the rubble where someone had been found. To my knowledge no one had said anything, yet they all moved as a single unit. We stood at the very edge of destruction, trying to see what they were seeing. Behind us a ten-story crane was pulling a mangled steel I-beam out of the ground and placing it on a truck. In front of us, firefighters were watching and waiting. Then, quite suddenly, as if released from a single string, they dispersed, going back to their tasks once again. Two of them came out of the debris, each with the handle of an orange body bag in hand. It was sagging very unnaturally in the middle. That was all. That was it. A piece at a time. At 3 am, September 13, they gave the word to move the triage, and I heard the word ?recovery? replace the word ?rescue? - a significant change. We decided to go home. Our green scrubs were gray. My skin was gray. My thoughts? We retraced our steps, stepped around the gray car seat, got into the Pathfinder, followed a flatbed into the tunnel, and got stuck behind a slow-moving sanitation truck, which was spraying water down, to wash away the dust, before it escaped into the night. We drove back across the bridge, looking back, always looking back. I sat in the back with the window down. The black cold night air washed out our lungs. My eyelids were heavy from the dust. We were there for three hours. There were people there spending a season in that Hell. God help them.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: 9-8-03 The month of September has always been sweet and sour for my birthday being on the 5th and then school starting just around the corner. The September of the terrorist attacks started out no different than any other. It was my junior year in high school and the images of the 11th are still in my head as if it had been yesterday. It was sunny and the temperature was fair everything seemed to be normal. I had been sitting in my second period class for about 20 min. before our teacher, Mr. Turner turned on the T.V. for our daily dose of current events when we saw a cloud of smoke billowing out of the side of one of the World Trade Center's towers. The first thought of most of us was that it had been some kind of accident, but our teacher knew better when he heard that a plane "accidentally" flew into the building. His first thought was that it was some kind of attack on the U.S. and his hypothesis became a reality as we watched the second plane smash into the other tower, "this is going to be a very long day," he said. He told us that this was going to change life as we knew it and this day would stay in our heads for the rest of our lives. Eventually they let us out of school and directed us to go straight home. The air outside was very ominous, with hardly any cars on the road and the whole ride home all I could think of was if my family and friends families were ok. Many of my close family lives in New York City and many of my friend?s parents work in Washington so many crazy things were going through my head that day. 9/11 was a life changing event which we must never forget and make sure we can prevent in the future.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was my day off and I remember I had slept in late that morning. I got up and, as usual, turned on the TV and then went to my computor. I looked at the TV as I sat down just to see a plane hit the WTC. At the time I thought it was a movie. My home page came up and I read the featured story in front of me on the screen. My eyes went back to the TV. "Oh my God~!~!" I said, "This is real~!~!". For the next 2 days I spent crying as I watched the terror unfold. Even after a year has passed, it still bothers me so much to see those pictures that will be forever etched in my mind. I still can't believe it happened here, in the United States. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
