I tried for 1 hour to get through to the office - located 20 minutes from New York City. My visit was postponed only a day...meanwhile, my cousin, Cindy was watching the smoke and mist emanating from Manhatten, at a mountain top in Paterson New Jersey - Garrett Mountain. She was so filled with sadness that her life too ended in that tragic week. I feel pain, as do all others. This time in our history is defining and it has made its mark on our lives in more ways than anyone could have known.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The day the attacks happend, I was staying in Boys and Girls Town. I was having a great day. My first class that I had to go to was, JROTC. I walked into the classroom to find all of the students surrounding the T.V. I took a closer look and right then I saw the first plane hit. I was so shocked, that I fell to floor and cried. I couldn't breathe. All of the kids were either crying or staring in disbelief. That really hurt me bad. I am a very patriotic person. I love my country. I adopted my new motto. Don't mess with the best. We will always hunt you down until we find you. God Bless America.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11th, I was unaware of the situation until after both planes had hit the Towers. I was i 7th grade at the time, and it was during our last period of the day when our principal, Mr. Downey, came on the loud speaker and informed the 6th and 7th graders about the events. The 4th graders were in our school then, and were not told. I think it's because they didn't want them to be scared. I remember I was in the Student Council Advisor's, Mr. Belauskus, room working on a project for an upcoming dance when we were told. I didn't understand. I knew that planes hit two buildings in New York City, but I didn't know how serious it was. In fact, I didn't evenh know what the World Trade Center or Twin Towers were. I don'y know why we weren't allowed to watch the TV. We just weren't. Mr. Belauskus explained to the people in the class what happened by talking and drawing pictures on the white-board. It still didn't mean much to me though. A few people were crying, but most people were shocked or didn't know what to think. It all only started to make sense, when I got home. My mom talked to about it me while I did my homework. My dad had the TV on, and I watched and learned about it all day. I had so many unamswerd questions. I had learnes so much, yet so little. Why would something like this happen? So many innocent people died that day. I still don't understand how someone could ahte us so much. For the next few days, it was all anyone could talk about. I had so many discussions about it in my E.L.A. class. Patriotism was everywhere. But after a few months, it just faded away. It was just something from the past and it didn't hurt as much. My life hasn't really changed sinse September 11th, because it didn't hit close to me. It's not hard to get by. What happened that day was awful and it hurt, but it hasn't permanently scarred me. I think everything should be remembered about September 11th, 2001, because it all happened. Every detail is important. The events shouldn't be glossed over. We need to know the sad, graphic, yet true facts. It has to be told that people were literally jumping out of the buildings, so that they would have a quick death, instead of burning slowly. Not just the brave and heroic acts should be learned by future generations, but all the pain and terror aswell. Everything that happened should be remembered so that we know the true horror or the events, and get a clear understanding or it all. It's the awful truth, but we must accept and remember it. It's in the past and will always be there in our minds. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

My husband and I turned on the TV just in time to see the South Tower fall. I'm still speechless when I watch the replays. I visited New York City for the first time that October - had to see it for myself. I never got to see the twin towers in person, but I will never forget the sights, sounds and smells of Ground Zero. New York is a great city, and America is a great country! It's heartening to see us all come together, and I hope we continue to strive for peace and unity.

I didn't really know what to make of it. It was akward watching it over and over. Every day that went by the death toll kept rising.My dad would sit and watch CNN and other news stations for hours about it. I don't like to watch it a lot cause it is pretty brutal cause they keep showing it over and over. I think that people are wrong when they say that it should be a holiday. They think that we shoudn't go to work and school to celebrate thousands of people dying. What i think we should do is go to school and work and work harder to honor them.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in math class and I just walked in and my math teacher had the t.v. on and we asked what was going on. He said a plane hit the WTC. I asked what that was because I had never heard of the World Trade Center. We watched the news for about 5 minutes until the second plane hit. Until that time we all thought this was really cool because we didn't have to do any work. When the second tower got hit we all realized what was going on. I had just remembered that just a day or two ago my grandparents had just been to New York and they could have been there if they stayed just a day or two more. When the first tower fell we all were glued to the t.v. and the room was silent. We had to switch classes eventually and so we went to our home rooms and watched the rest there. We saw the second tower go down and we still watched t.v. until lunch time. Evreyone was afraid that something else might happen. We wondered if maybe the terrorists would crash into Disney World and some of our parents worked there (but not mine). After lunch we wanted to watch the news some more but our teacher said we had work to do and we needed to move on. When school was over my mom picked me and my brother up and we talked about what had happened that day. Me and me brother had to tell my mom what happened because she didn't have a t.v. at the informtion desk at the hospital. So we told her. When my dad got home we all talked about it again. He saw what happened on t.v. so he knew what was going on. That night we were all watching the news waiting for something to happen but nothing did so we went to bed and couldn't sleep.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11 was not just another day for me. My Uncle - my Mother's brother - had died of cancer a few days earlier, in Seattle. I was very fond of Uncle Jerry, a big, athletic skier and former ski patroller. I had joined the ski patrol at his suggestion - he thought it was a great way to learn to ski, because, he said, "you had to ski everything" to be a patroller. He was sixty when he died and I was devastated. I had been looking forward to ski-ing with Jerry in his retirement. Talking to Jerry about engineering was fun - he was an engineer at Boeing, having earned his PhD from the University of Washington. Initially I wanted to live in Seattle when I came to the United States from New Zealand, but I wound up in Boulder, Colorado. So on September 11 I was not initially inclined to go into work. At about 9:30 AM I turned on the TV and saw a report that an aircraft had flown into the World Trade center in New York. I thought it was an accident, and unlike most other people I did not change that opinion when a report came in to the effect that a second aircraft had flown into the second tower. I was still preoccupied with Jerry's death and not inclined to pay too much attention to those around me. Eventually the news reports begain to explicitly suggest that these were not accidents, but the work of a malign intelligance. I got dressed and went in to work so I could email my parents in New Zealand and tell them I was OK, although increasingly I was not sure that I was OK. This is how my mother learned of the attacks - she got an email from my sister, Ann Marie, stating that Ann Marie was OK and that if Mom didn't know what Ann Marie was talking about she should turn on the TV. Most of my office was out at a work retreat which I had elected not to go to due to Jerry's death. We were getting emails from the military bases to whom we provide weather information, asking if they were secure from internet attack, wondering if a sensor outage meant that they were under attack. I sent some emails and then wandered idly down to the front foyer, where there was a radio station reading the news. There was no music on the radio stations that day, and little in the days that followed, just news reports being read. By now it was clear that something was wrong, but it was not clear what. There were all kinds of reports. There might be another aircraft in the air under their control, whoever they were. One of the World Trade Center towers had fallen, but the other remained intact. The number of missing was projected in the tens of thousands. The Pentagon may have been attacked. Various buildings in Washington, DC, might be targets. It was suggested that it was a good idea to fill up your gas tank. There were unconfirmed reports that all air traffic in the United States had been grounded. It was suggested that it was a good idea to leave all available fuel for emergency service vehicles, who might need it. There were all kinds of reports, many of them conflicting, and all of them seemed to me to obfuscate rather than clarify the situation. While I was standing in the foyer, one of our directors came up to me and asked if I was on the medical emergency response team. Because I was on ski patrol, I had some medical skills, and I told him that. He said that we had a visitor from Washington, DC who needed some help. He took me out into the courtyard where a group of people were looking tense. One woman was smoking a cigarette - she seemed to be trying to suck the very life out of it. She told me that she was not feeling well. She had a few medical conditions. I took her to the first aid room where another medical responder and I gave her some oxygen and some water to sip until she recovered enough to go back to her meeting. Normally I would have called her an ambulance, but I did not because I did not want to drain the resources in Boulder. Later I found out that this was a good decision, that the ambulance services had been busy with people doing all sorts of nutty things, like driving their cars into ditches because they got so upset by the news on their car radio. Eventually I wandered aimlessly back home. The local gas station had a long line of cars filling up their gas tanks. Eventually the station ran out of gas. I had decided not to buy any gas since I thought the emergency vehicles needed it more. At this point most people thought that more attacks were possible, even probable. You find out that a day of terror is limited to one day only after the fact. The TV was as disrupted as the radio was. It was clear that the World Trade Center and the Pentagon had been attacked, but it not clear why, or by whom. In the days and months that followed, there was every kind of rumor. It slowly became clear that an ill-defined organization based in Afghanistan was to blame. A web site devoted to debunking Urban Legends was brought to a near standstill by the numbers of people checking to see if their rumor had any factual basis. One rumor was that someone had a good friend who was dating a guy from Afghanistan, and the guy had suddenly vanished leaving only a note saying "Stay away from shopping malls on December 11". Shopping malls were held to be unsafe, as were ski lifts. There were concerns about upcoming New Year's Eve celebrations. There were all kinds of rumors about people being trapped in the remains of the World Trade Center buildings. As it happens a lot of the cabs in New York were driven by people of arabic descent, and there was a rumor that there had been no taxi cabs near the World Trade Center on September 11. It was thought possible that several large airline companies would go bankrupt. For the next few months, the eleventh day of the month passed very slowly. Newspapers and internet browsers were opened only after taking a moment to prepare for news of "another one". People did odd things. The members of the United States Congress gathered on the steps of the Congress to sing "God Bless America", and it seemed entirely fitting. Travelling to New York was seen as a nearly heroic act. People were unusually irritable. There was a waiting list to buy an American flag from McGuckins, the local hardware store. I got a phone call saying that my flag had come in but I did not respond fast enough and someone else got it, and I had a temper tantrum since I wanted a flag. Everyone wanted a flag that fall. Relatively mundane events were reported in a very jingoistic way. When civilian air traffic returned over the United States, it was reported that "America's iron eagles are soaring again". The French government did not seem too supportive of some of the United State's military aims, prompting some people to attempt to rename french fries "freedom fries". People seemed to alternate between being very, very irritable and extremely kind. At the time I was in a class learning to become an Emergency Medical Technician, and after the attack the instructor asked the class if anyone wanted out since there were a lot of EMT's killed in the World Trade Center. Nobody wanted out. There was tremendous respect for the firemen who had run back in to the World Trade Center buildings. There was a charity that made profits by selling New York Fire Department T-shirts. My sister Ann Marie and I flew to Seattle for Jerry's funeral, at which I spoke. I am a nervous flier at the best of times and this was not the best of times. There was a large American flag hanging in Denver airport. Security at the airports was extreme but nobody complained. When we returned to Boulder, they called out passenger names on the public address system. It seemed to me that they were calling all a lot of arabic names, and I struggled not to think about that. I also struggled not to think about Uncle Jerry's beloved airplanes being used as missiles. It was very difficult to accept that the people who had died in these attacks were people not unlike myself. The desire to take revenge was very strong, although there seemed to be nobody take revenge against. In this atmosphere calling french fries "freedom fries", or singing "God Bless America", were seen as dynamic actions rather than being auxiliary to the matter at hand, simply because it was unclear as to what, exactly, the matter at hand was. The United States went on to attack Iraq, and have a divisive election, and that's another story. What peace I found came when my Ski Patrol reformed for the 2001/2002 ski season. There was a guy there who had been a firefighter in New York, and he had been with rescue three in Spanish Harlem and he'd lost some people. He seemed to understand about Jerry's death and pointed out that I had had a chance to say goodbye. My flag flew from the flagpole at our little ski area if I was on duty, as I was the day the space shuttle broke up when it was coming back in for a landing. I heard the news from the patrol station at the top of the hill. We wondered if it was a defective heat tile on the shuttle or the result of some terrorist action, and then I skied down and lowered the flag to half mast. I put in so much time on the patrol that year that I won volunteer patroller of the year. Although it took me two tries I was selected as a volunteer with my local fire department. I had to leave the department when my daughter was born, but in between my time helping people on the ski slopes and helping out out at the fire station the sadness that was somehow bundled up in Jerry's death and the terrorist attacks lessened. Now it is something I only feel occasionally, like a medal I won long ago that I take out of a box, turn it over a few times, and then put back in its proper position, whatever that is.

We were sitting at our desks when we recieved the news. Radios were turned on all over the building and tears were shed. It was like a dream. I never thought that something like this could actually have happened. Immediately I asked to leave to go get my son. I called my husbands cell phone and begged him to come home. He was working at the Pittsburgh International Airport that day. I went to my sons school and my husband met us at our home. As we watched all I could do was cry and pray for all of those who were in the towers. Then more reports of planes crashing into the Pentagon then in a field in Pennsylvania. What started as a normal day turned into the blackest day. As the days passed I kept praying for the families and for more survivors. We will always remeber 9/11/01. God Bless all families and friends. God Bless Our World. Keep believing in our freedom.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Since writing "Tonight I Cried", it went on to live a life of its own. I shared it with the members of the National Middle School Association in November of 2001. It was even read on radio as far away as Wisconsin. I have seen print copies of it several times. Why someone chose my view over 280 million other stories in America I will never know. Personally, I have struggled to come to terms with that day. It is now five years later and I am able, for the first time, to see the video of the tower collision. This is a big step for me. Life is for the living, but never forgetting where we have been. Grad school is finished and the girlfriend is now my wife of almost 4 1/2 years. I tell her of the Washington that used to be; the one that celebrated the scaffolding around the Washington Monument at the millenium. I tell of traffic that was not crippling to the commuter (I know she will never believe that). I tell my middle school students how technology failed us that day. This is the first class of students that was too young to be impacted directly. The first grade classes did not stream the media coverage the same way the rest of us did. Tonight I Celebrate life. Tonight I Toast to those who had no choice but to become immortal that day. Those lost will never be forgotten. However afraid, shaken, weak or strong, only the memory of fellow Americans lost remains. We have not done all we can to make peace in this world. In our hearts we know this is not where we want to be. May the ones who live on find comfort in our love, hope and dreams for their well being. May those lost never be forsaken.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It's so hard to believe that we as a nation could have been so careless. I recently saw a TV program dealing with the events that led to that horrible attack on the American people in N.Y.C. back in 9-11-01, and can't believe we let Bin Laden slip through our sights without any attemp to take him out. So many signs, so many warnings, so much we could have done. How sad it still is. If one half of what we saw in that ABC program is true then many higher ups were sleeping so to speak during their watch. God save us, and forgive those that knew of the warnings of the impending storm and slumbered while the rest of us went through our daily lives without as much as a bell or siren to wake us up.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: At the moment of the attack I was driving my 3 year old to preschool. I had just put my 7 year old on the bus, and was calculating my grocery list in my mind. I heard over the radio about the first plane crash, then they informed us of the second plane. This was a joke! Wasn't it? The DJ's are real pranksters, wasn't sure if this was one of their sick jokes. I then heard them say that this was no joke, it was actually happening, America was under attack. I was shocked! I placed my hand on my belly and cried. You see, I was 9+ months pregnant and was to be induced the next morning. I was frightened to bring this child into this scary world. How will I be able to protect this small innocent child. 11 hours after the first plane hit the World Trade Center, my 8lb. 10 oz. angel was born, Eric William. To this day, he has proven time & again he is our angel. I am truely blessed! God Bless America!!!! My heart goes out to all those who have lost a loved one in NY, PA, or Washington, D.C.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11th for me started like all the other mornings before that day. I had woken up to the kiss buy my girlfriend telling me to have a good day at work. As I showered and got ready for work, I received a call from my father (in his Coral Gables home office). ?Frank are you watching the news? I told him no why what?s wrong?? He proceeded to tell me to turn on the news the world trade center had been hit by an airplane. I answered back what? What do you mean as I turn on the television I saw the smoke and flames coming from the sides of the north tower. I ran to the bedroom door and told my live in mother and father in to turn on the TV, that something is happening in New York! As a part of me was watching the news and the other part of me was getting dressed I started to turn my full attention to the TV screen. As I watched another aircraft from the upper right hand side of the screen come in it disappeared behind the south tower and then a large explosion came out the other side of the tower. My mouth fell and I screamed out ?Holly Mary Mother of God!? I ran out of the room and my mother in-law was weeping and my father in law watched. I sprinted to the phone and to call my girlfriend where she worked as a reservations agent for Delta Airlines. She picked up and I told her what was happening she could not believe what she was hearing I told her to find television and to turn it on. She said she would and I told her I would call her back. After hanging up with her I called work to find out and to pray to god it was not one of our own aircraft (I worked for Spirit Airlines). My supervisor told me that it was not but to stand buy she would call me back if she need me to come in earlier. After hanging up with her I turned my focus back to the TV they were talking of another aircraft that had just crashed in Washington DC and the Pentagon was on fire. And then at that moment I some how knew that we were being attacked by some one. At about 10am local time the south tower collapsed I watched as the building fell. My girlfriend called and was crying she could not believe it and nether could I. I told her try and make her way home that I had to head to work just then I turned my attention to the north tower and she collapsed also. I grabbed my things and head out the door. As I drove down the roads in Kendall everyone had the thousand-mile stair. I drove to me coworkers home and I picked him up. As we head to work. After getting to work we saw that everyone at work had the same expression on his or her faces. Their faces looked blank like the where staring into a face less painting with no expressions. That whole night was the slowest I ever worked. That night I did not sleep one wink, I tossed and turned about, as did my girlfriend. The following day I spoke to my mother and she told me that my cousin Gregory was missing (Gregory was a cousin that grew up with me in my youth and he had married and gotten a job working at the towers). I did not know the day before if Greg had made it out or not. My mother was extremely worried and she called to tell me how she was feeling. I told her I was not doing to well ether. Later that day I received another phone call but at work from my mother. Gregory was working on the 103rd floor of the north tower when the American Airlines flight crashed in to his floor and exploded. I was unable to work after that and my boss sent me home. For many months following 9/11 I thought of my cousin and about what he was doing when he died. I also replayed those aircraft slamming into the side of the building. I had many scary dreams and was unable to do work effectively. So after 8yrs of work in the aviation industry I decided to make a move out of it. The move was to put my mind at ease and to move on with my life. One year after that fateful day that the world stood still. My girlfriend and me took the whole week of to reflect and to be with our son. And to also look back and to look forward. I cannot see myself ever going back to the airlines ever again but I guess that will change over time, as do many things in life.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at work on the morning of September 11, 2001. It was just a day like any other, until the news reports started coming in. I first learned of the unfolding events by word of mouth. A co-worker came by and calmly reported that a jet airliner had just crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City. It initially struck me as another one of those tragic airline misfortunes that have become so common over the last few years. I was completely in the dark about the real nature of this tragedy. A little later my wife called and said that another jet had crashed into the other tower of the World Trade Center. She told me that it was believed to be the work of terrorists. Suddenly, everything began to seem very surreal, and I wondered how this could be possible. A short time later another co-worker came by with the news that yet another jet had crashed into the Pentagon. I was stunned and wondered about the possibliity of even more crashes. Since I was working in a Federal Building for a Federal Agency, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, I began to feel a bit of unease about the possiblity that perhaps our building might also be targeted. But reason prevailed as I realized that our building was not clearly marked as the location of a major Agency. It also seemed highly unlikely that the plot that was unfolding could have been successful in multiple cities across the nation. Like everyone else, I settled in to listen and observe how things were unfolding in Washington and New York City. I don't think anyone really anticpated the horror that followed the aftermath of those crashed jets. When the twin towers of the World Trade Center came crashing down, it just compounded and extended the tragedy. Thinking about how many people might have lost their lives in these events was simply too mind boggling to comprehend. It was like the Oklahoma City bombing revisited, only 10 times worse. All that most Americans could do for the next several days was watch and pray. As for me, although horrified by those events, I felt far removed from them. Yet at the same time I felt drawn into the renewed sense of patriotism that was spawned by this direct attack on our homeland. There was a sense of pride and community that swept across the nation. It was a sense of solidarity with all Americans that probably has not been felt since World War II. If there was anything good that came out of September 11, 2001, it was this; Americans showed what has always been true about them. We are a nation of great diversity. We are so diverse, in fact, that it often seems that we are our own worse enemy. However, in times of great tragedy, Americans pull together with a sense of unity of purpose that has yet to be demonstrated by any other Nation. God Bless America.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11, 2001, it was a beautiful morning outside. I remember everything that I wore to work, especially this really pretty new gray sweater. I remember thinking how nice it was outside, and how I planned to take a walk during my lunch hour. Around 9 a.m., one of the 4 guys that I shared a big office with, came rushing into the office telling me to "go to CNN" on my computer. I heard him say "they just hit the world trade center". I didn't understand what he meant, because he was rushing and looking frazzled. I knew he was serious a few seconds later, because I heard a lot of activity outside the door. Lots of people had began milling around, and some were walking really fast towards a corridor facing the Pentagon. There, I realized that a plane had crashed into the Pentagon also, because the sky was black. It was filled with black smoke, as the plane had just hit it. It all went down hill from that point on. I remember feeling very scared, exposed, vulnerable...and knowing with certainty that I was going to die. I was in shock, and wanted to cry right there at work. I remember standing listening to the radio when they announced that the towers had collapsed. I didn't realize that there were people in there. For some reason, I thought everyone had gotten out. Was I in for a terrible surprise. It took me 4 hours to get home...a ride which ususally would take 1/2 hour. My cell phone was barely working, and I was stuck in front of the FBI building (which was one block from my job) in traffic. I knew for certain that terrorist would try to hit the FBI buiding and I panicked even more. I kept thinking that I would never see my two cats or family or my beloved friend Reg again. I finally did make it home. A coworker and her husband gave me a ride..it took us almost an hour just to get out of the garage. Everything downtown was blocked off and traffic just went in circles. I had a hard time sleeping that night. I was in shock and kept crying, especially when they showed people jumping from the windows of the WTC. GOD bless them. It would be several months before I had a nightmare-less night. Everytime I closed my eyes, I would dream of helicopters or airplanes crashing into residential neighborhoods, hospitals or my bedroom. A year later, and I am still slightly on edge, but a lot better than I was before. Thank you for listening to me.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was an 8th grade Language Arts and Social Studies teacher in Union City, NJ. I was reviewing vocabulary words - can still recall some of those words today - constellation, astronomy - when one of the custodians came flying into my classroom telling me to put on the television because a plane had just crashed into the World Trade Center. I was one of the few teachers in the building who had a TV that could receive TV signals and not just be used to play videos. I thought to myself, "Finally, someone will hook up all the wires and get this TV working," which I had been begging people to do the past week, but to no avail. Of course, I did not know how trivial that was at the time. We watched the events, as a class, on TV. I can still remember that a few students were not able to handle what was on TV, so they asked if they could go to room 310 to be with a different teacher. Even after the second plane hit, I was still trying to convince myself that it was all just a terrible accident. When the students went to lunch, I sat in my room alone and tried to eat my lunch - a roast beef sandwich. I took a few bites before I realized that I could not eat and wanted to be with everyone else in the cafeteria. Five years later, I am an 8th grade teacher in Fair Lawn, NJ. Today during lunch, I bit into my sandwich - and realized that I, once again, had roast beef. Tonight I stood in my backyard to view the "Tribute in Light," standing in the same place where I stood five years ago, as I watched how 'life as we knew it' had changed forever.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My first day back from maternity leave was September 11, 2002. I was flying to Albany, NY for the first time. While on maternity leave my employer restructured and changed my job responsibilities, now I would have to leave my 8 week daughter for 3 days every week if I wanted to keep my job. I had to have my job so I complied. September 11th was the first day leaving my 8 week old daughter overnight. I flew from Indianapolis to Detroit. Upon landing in Detroit I deboarded and was walking to my connecting gate when I noticed a very large cluster of people watching a television outside a pub, they were very quiet. Just as I looked up at the television screen the second plane hit the tower. Suddenly, someone shouted out, "that is not a private plane, that was a commercial airliner!" The airport terminal was then in complete chaos. Completely mortified I realized this was no accident and ran to get a rental car. Getting home to my family was the only thought on my mind at the time. I thought the U.S. was being attacked and didn't know how far it would reach. Luckily our corporate travel agent was able to get me a car. Upon arriving at the rental car site I was told every airport across the country had been closed and I was fortunate to have gotten the rental car because they now had none left. Due to the shortage of rental cars I decided to wait a few minutes to see if there were other people going to Indianapolis. There was one lady, but she refused to ride with a stranger, I asked nicely if she would prefer to drive and she declined. Another man asked if I could drive him to NY, but I didn't. The entire way back to Indianapolis I listened to the radio and prayed for all of the victims and all the citizens of the United States. The tragedy truly put my problems into perspective.

Things that day slowed down as we listen and watch and then the third plane crashing in Washington and then the plan crash in PA - whata waste of lives - we found out later that the father of one of our staff people was on one of the flights that crashed into the towers, this was a shock. This was also my sisters 50th birthday. We had her party about a week later. The rest of the week was a hard one as we had to cope with what happen. We gave blood and money and did what ever we had to do to help. I will never forget this day.

I couldn't beleive that some one would actually do something like that. But a few days later, they already had someone to suspect. They had Osama Bin Laden. He said that he wasn't responsible for the terror attacks. He was let go, and he went back to Afghanistan. A little while after that, our government found out that he was responsible for the attacks. Now he is the most wanted man in the United States and i hope he is caught. 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 had been asleep (I work the night shift). My wife came into the bedroom and woke me. She said I needed to get up and see what was on TV. When I saw the devastation and recognized the Pentagon, I was absolutely enraged. I still have/had friends working in the Pentagon. I has spent eight years of my military service, walking the halls and corridors that were now laid to waste. My anger boiled. My feelings of contempt were boundless. Anyone so ignorant to think that attempting to destroy the very symbol of American military power would even somewhat subdue our ability, much less our resolve, to extract vengence and justice must be mentally defective. We now know, that in some ways they were. They follow the teachings, and rantings, of a mad man. This has happened in the past. When the US was least expecting it, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. When we tried to isolate ourselves from the madness on the European continent, the Nazi Regieme (led by a mad man) lossed it's terror on the innocent and the peacefull nations around it. History has repeated itself, even though some say different, or calmly claim that the actions of those few were not of the magnitude of Pearl Harbor, not of the magnitude of the Holocost. Still, today, one full year later, I am horrified and angered by the pictures of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon. Not terrified, but horrified. How can we, as a freedom loving nation; a nation of helpers and aid givers, allow this to happen. We must be prepared for the eventuallity that this was only the prelude to what may be much, much worse. We must take our stand, extend a protective arm and hand to the rest of the freedom loving people of the world, and halt this encroachment on peace.
