Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was three months pregnant with my son and had just been coming out of three months of morning sickness. After three mornings of waking up with no signs of morning sickness, I woke up on September 11, 2001, looking forward to the first day of a Mommy and Me class with my two-year old daughter. I was still drowsy, yet cheerfully I realized that for a fourth day in a row, I woke up without feeling sick. The end of morning sickness was near when my phone rang around 7:45 am (Pacific Time) in Glendale, California. I picked up the phone wondering who was calling me so early. My father was on the line and all he could tell me was, Did you hear? Did you hear the news? . . . The towers . . . Theyre gone. They are gone. I responded, What do you mean gone, shaking off my sleepiness . . . What towers? My dad answered in a stunned voice, In New York, the ones in New York . . . They are gone. Trying hard to make sense of the conversation, I responded, You mean those huge buildings in New York? My dad in a beleaguered and saddened voice said the World Trade Center . . . both towers gone, gone, gone. Still doubting what my father was saying, yet feeling fear seting in, I responded, Dad! Thats not possible. Those buildings are huge. What are you talking about!? And he said, Im telling you, honey, they are gone . . . terrorists . . . turn on your TV. Now I was worried and tears started to well up in my eyes from a pang of fear (and pregnancy hormones, too). I called my husband into the living room and we saw the towers crumbling to the ground (repeated footage since in NY time it was now about 10:50 a.m.) New footage followed focusing on the Pentagon. Later I was to hear of the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. I was bewildered and overwhelmed; a weird numbness set in my core, and for the rest of the morning I went about my business in a despondent manner, upset at the tragedy and loss of lives. The rest of the day and week perhaps, I was living life in an enigmatic self-protecting trance; part of me tried to ignore the tragedy but another part of me knew I couldnt. Granted, my morning sickness came back shortly after watching the footage of the towers falling and the nauseous feelings remained yet for another month. And for at least a month afterwards, I was in fear for myself, my family, and the new life I carried. It wasnt until I spoke to my obstetrician about my fears of anthrax that I finally felt better. What did she say? If I were you, I wouldnt worry about anthrax. Youre chances of getting cancer are much, much higher than experiencing an anthrax terrorist attack. You need to worry about protecting yourself from cancer, not anthrax! With that, my scientific mind (I was a chemistry teacher at the time) finally kicked in and enabled me to put everything that happened in the right perspective dont worry about yourself, odds are low now; pray and help others who experienced the tragedy more directly. I was lucky I did not know anyone who died on 9/11. People on the west coast were lucky. We werent targeted. Yet, we also mourn with those on the east (and across the country) who lost friends and family. We pray and hope such loss will never happen again. Its been five years since the tragedy and its amazing how vivid my memory still is of the morning of September 11, 2001, 7:45 am pacific time in Glendale, California.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Because it was my twin daughters first day of Pre-K, I had taken the day off of work and was planning a fun day with them. We were planning to go to Mc Donald's(their favorite) for lunch and then to school in the afternoon. We had gotten up early to see Daddy off to work and then they were watching a video(Disney) in their room. I had been busy cleaning when one of them came in to tell me the movie was over. As I went into their rooom, I saw the image of the first tower shortly after it had been hit and the headline "Breaking News" at the bottom of the screen. Of course since it was their t.v., I quickly turned the channel to a cartoon and ran into the living room to find out what had happened. As I sat their in disbelief, I called my sisiter at work to tell her a plane had crashed into the WTC. We both thought it was an accident only to find out otherwise a few minutes later as the second tower was hit on live television. During the rest of the unfolding events, I became more afraid to leave my house. My friend whose child would be attending school with my twins called to ask if they were going. We discussed our fears and decided school would have to wait for another day.ANd to my twins unhappiness, McDonald's would have to wait too. As I hugged my girls tightly throughout the day, I prayed that people would survive and ran several times to the bathroom to cry. I tried to explain to my twisn that some bad men had done very bad things and that we needed to stay home from school today. As the hours progressed, I felt my fear and sadness turn to anger as I realized the terrorists had not only killed thousands but they had cheated me out of seeing my twins first day of preschool. Although they finally had their first day of school later in the week, I was unable to take the day off of work to do all the fun things that we had planned. Today, I am thankful and feel very lucky because unlike the thousands of Moms and Dads who were killed that day, I still got to hug my beautiful children! God Bless all those families whose lives were forever changed that awful september day and God Bless America!

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Now I understand how we as humans can vividly remember a tragedy like September 11,2001. I was up before 6:30 a.m. because I had to drop my eldest child off at school. I came home and I was preparing breakfast for my other two children when my younger sister called and asked if I was watching television. I replied, "no, I usually don't watch television in the morning." She started crying and saying how terrible it was what was happening, I thought she was getting a bit carried away, that she was just being emotional, until I turned the television on and saw what had happened. It was absolutely terrifying. I usually try to compose myself so I won't over react for my childrens sake, but all I could do was cry. What a horrible thing that those terrorists did. The innocent people of all races that perished that day, wait let me rephrase that, that were murdered that day! A few weeks prior to this day all I could think about was me and my husbands trip to Hawaii that we had planned to take place on September 15, 2001, now it wasn't even a thought.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was sending my students on a restroom break around that time (I'm a Second Grade Teacher). One of my co-workers approached me in the hallway, and asked if I had my television on. Then she told me there was a bomb that went off in the World Trade Center Towers. I didn't get an opportunity to see any television until after 10:00 p.m. You see, I was beginning my first quarter in school on the same day. On campus, we had a candlelight vigil in honor and memory of the families, friends, and loved ones who lost their lives in the attack. Just a few months ago on Father's Day 2002, my grandmother passed. It took me awhile to let go and let God. I even had a student in my class whose birthday is today. It was acknowledged with a Birthday certificate and 2 American Flags. My students knew what happened on that day, and shared their own experiences with me.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I sat, tired and unknowning in my zero hour spanish three class. I looked apon September 11 as any normal day at that time, I looked at that day as a day full of school, work, and four days until my birthday. I dazed off as my spanish teacher went on talking in spanish, which most of it I would not have understood anyways, until two words she said cought my attention, avion (plane) and nueva yor (New York). I tuned in knowing something was differnt because usually we talked only of boring things, like homework and worksheets. I next heard the words muy horrible, very horrible. I sat puzzled trying to figure out what she was saying, but she quickly continued on and thinking that her story was something about her daughter who resides in New York, I let the story slide out of my mind. In english, my next class, the bomb was dropped. Choas had taken our country, America the beautiful, America the strong, in to its ugly hands. Two planes have hit the world trade center, noone knows many more details than that. In my school, TV's are equipped in every room, but according to an announcement at around the same time that I was notified, none were aloud to be turned on and no radio was aloud to be played. All communication to the world and its turmoil was cut off, and as a sophmore, I felt totally helpless, scared, and alone. I wanted to know everything about what had happend and what was going on, I wanted to know about the people in the buildings, about the cause, about the people in the plane, I was totally overwhelmed by sorrow and pain. I have family friends that reside in New York, who I have grown up with, they have a daughter who is around fifteen and a boy who is about seventeen, worry filled my body, I had to know if they were alright. I knew that Gina, the girl, went to a school very close to the Trade Center, ontop of the sorrow, pain, sadness, and all of the other mixed emotions that were going through my body, I soon became filled with panic. Rumors of terriorism, and attacks close to home amoungst other things filled the school. Small pieces of information were released through out the days of school, I learned of the other planes and their situations. It was impossible to "carry on the day like usual" like our principal said because September 11, 2001 was not a usual day, it was a day of pain and death and weakness and chaos, it was a day that will effect the lives of everyone in our country. I snuck into a corner and turned on one of my teachers radios, I called my mom to check on Gina, who at the time was missing, alone with her whole school. (Her school was the school which was a few blocks from ground zero and they had to evaquate unbenounced to the parents of the students and relocate for the day.) When school was finially over, my eyes were glued to the tv. I had so many questions and so much anger for why this had occured but none of them could be answered. It was as though a black curtain fell over our country. Unbelievably though, the hearts of devistated Americans became filled with hope and determination to show pride for our country. The American Flag became as popular to see in our streets, cities, and homes as people were. Charity was being raised everywhere. Where I live at every street corner was a firefighter with a bright yellow boot collecting contrabutions. And out of the tragic times came citizens full of nationalism. The events of September 11, 2001 are un able to be described by words. I cannot express my sorrow for the victems and familys that were directly involved with this event, and I cannot find words to express what a tragic event this was in our country's history. As Americans we must stand tall and together we will one day come through this event. Keep all hearts full of love and acceptance, and all minds full of hope.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It seems impossible that five short years ago every sense of feeling secure in the United States was removed....I was already at work when the first plane hit and my assistant came in after I did, turning our radio on. I stood in stunned silence as I listened to the news reporters conveying what happened. I immediately called my husband, Robert, even though we lived about two and a half blocks away from where I worked - at most - to see if he had the news on. He did and told me what they were saying. I remember having him on speaker phone so that my assistant could hear him as well. Neither of us expect to hear him say "Oh my God! A second plane has hit the second tower!!!!" Because we had two lines in the office, I picked up the phone and called my mom on the second line. She was at work as well...and I could tell that she knew and had been crying. All I said was "Mom, I don't know what's going on but I had to call you to tell you that if I don't see you again that I love you and to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my mom. I hope that I've been the daughter that you've wanted and I pray that I'll see you soon!" With that I was crying. Robert actually heard my conversation with my mom and said that he'd drive to her work for me to make sure that she was okay. My second call was to our other store because the woman who was my manager there (I was the district manager) was from Pakistan and I knew the employee working with her that day was from India. I told them that if they wanted I would come there and the employee could come to my store to work with my assistant. Because we were locked in a secure room with bullet proof glass, they opted to stay where they were because they knew their customers well and felt safe. I told them that at any hint of danger to call 911 and get police backup. I know that we were on the phone with them about every 15 minutes with the understanding that if they did not answer I would be coming with half of the Fort Wayne Police Force with me! My third call was to our corporate office letting them know that I had already checked in with my other store in town to let them know of my conversation and our plans. I then, and only then, allowed myself to turn inward and cry. I hit my knees in prayer - and my assistant who was Catholic but hadn't practiced her faith in years - went to her knees as well. I think that we stayed like that for at least 15 minutes and ended up opening up the store late. I know that when I went home that night I hugged Robert longer and harder than I had in the two years that we had been married. We went to my mom's so that I could see her and I called my two older brothers who were still talking to the family. Sadly, my other brother and my sister didn't answer their phones when I tried to call - wishing that this tragedy would turn their hearts to make they realize how short and precious life is. I think about September 11, 2001 often. My great-nephews and great-niece were only 3, 2 and 1 years old at the time. We were miscarrying our first and only pregnancy. What would the world be like for them now that we had a terriorist attack on our own soil? What would the world be like for any child that we would concieve? I couldn't answer those questions then, and I can't now. I, too, think about the fact that I work across the street from the tallest building in Fort Wayne and sometimes wonder what would happen if something happened here. I always say a prayer that I would be safe and that God would protect us....knowing that I'm also not naive about life or the world anymore. I think about our fellow citizens who lost their lives during and because of this attack...and about their families and friends. May they find comfort in knowing that there are still people who think about them, pray about them actually, daily....not just on anniversaries. The first song I heard this morning on the way to work was "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning" by Alan Jackson...and as it did when I first heard it and every time since, I had tears rolling down my face. So on this day may you hold someone that you love closer, call your parent(s), call your sibling(s), call an old friend to reconnect....and live your life to the fullest. Regardless of race, nationality or religion...may God watch over the WORLD and bring us all peace tonight....and every night.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I come from a broken home that started in the Bronx, New York. My name is Luis and I'm Puerto Rican. I have struggled to live with my mother and my sister for as long as I can remember. Our financial status finally got better once I was in 9th grade. I graduated high school in Chesapeake, Virginia back in June of 2001. I signed up to join the United States Navy and go into bootcamp by the end of 2001. I left my family and friends, and everything that I held dear on September 9th, 2001. On the 10th of September I was in Pennsylvania and had just taken off when the first plane was hijacked, but sent crashing to the ground due to heroic efforts of the passengers on board. By the late evening of September 10th, 2001 I was in Great Lakes, Illinois, inside a Navy base, for bootcmap. We did not find out about September 11th, until a week before our graduation date of November 17th, 2001. It was a defining moment in my career in the Navy, and a defining moment in my life period. Our Guest of Honor for our graduating ceremony, was the Honorable Donald Rumsfeld, Defense Secretary for the United States. We received a speech that day from him, that made me feel honored to be in the best Navy in the world. I did not get to go through September 11th like much of the world did. I was at bootcamp, isolated from the world around me. On my Military I.D., it says my date of entry as being 10SEP01... and I get off of active duty by 10SEP05. My aunt perished in the WTC bombing along with hundreds of other innocent people. That specific act of terrorism is the reason WHY I'm in the United States Navy, and giving up a lot of my freedoms to defend the freedoms of people like you in the United States of America. I am United States Sailor, dedicated and highly motivated to put an end to this evil plaging the world. Thanks for listening.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: ?New York!? Vova shouted. I was eating a home-cooked dinner in a small house in a suburb of Kiev, Ukraine, when Vova, the man of the house, came into the room. He could speak very little English, and I could not speak Ukrainian. ?Shae? he repeated, waving his arms, ?New York, New York? he said. I turned to face him. He was obviously trying to tell me something important. His face was one of concern and urgency. ?New York? he said again, and used his arms to draw in the air the outlines of tall buildings. ?Skyscrapers?? I said out loud, trying to guess what he was attempting to communicate. ?Da!? he replied, which is Ukrainian for ?Yes!? Then he spread his arms like an airplane, flying through the air. ?Airplane?? I guessed. ?Da!? he replied. He then used his hands to motion like an airplane diving into something, and held up two fingers. What was going on? Did an airplane crash into two buildings? Did two airplanes crash? What happened? Some poor excuse for a pilot probably flew his Piper Cub into something. Oh well, people do stupid things all the time. But Vova?s concern seemed to mean that there was something more to this. I asked him ?how big??, trying to learn the size of the airplane(s). He didn?t understand my question, so I took another approach. ?Boeing?? I said, naming a common aircraft manufacturer. ?Da!? he said. ?Da!?, holding up two fingers again. Again he drew buildings and held up two fingers. His meaning was getting clearer now. Hmm. Two Boeings like aircraft had crashed into two buildings in New York City. What a terrible tragedy. But such things just don?t happen. Professional pilots fly Boeing aircraft, and they certainly do not dive into buildings in New York. There must be some mis-communication here, something definitely lost in the translation. But given the language barrier I wasn?t going to find out any more from Vova. I figured that he probably had heard some pieces of garbled news and had wanted me to know about it. I thanked him and he went back to the other side of the house where the family had a black and white television. I kept eating. My friend Jim, who was visiting this home with me, came out of the nearby bathroom. I said ?Jim, Vova just tried to tell me something about two Boeing airplanes crashing into two buildings in New York City. I don?t think that I?ve got all the facts straight, but I thought you would want to know that something probably has happened back home.? Jim and I were part of a group of 13 American men who volunteered to come to Bucha, Ukraine, for 15 days. During our visit our task was to help a local Baptist church build classrooms. They were located next to a state orphanage. Our evangelical church in Virginia sponsored us. Jim and I were staying in a small but tidy home with a widow and her family. After dinner Jim and I met up at the church with the rest of the team. We were going to a soccer game that evening. Suddenly a van pulled up next to us. Two of our team members jumped out and excitedly said ?Terrorists crashed hijacked planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The Trade Centers have collapsed!? ?No! Are you sure?? I replied. ?We saw it ourselves on the television? they said. ?They collapsed? Those buildings wouldn?t collapse. All the way down?? I responded. ?All the way. The entire country is locked down. No planes are flying.? They answered. I felt like someone had slugged me in the stomach. I felt sick and sat down. 50,000 people worked in those towers. So this is what Vova had tried to tell me! Later that evening, at a gas station, a burly, tough looking Ukrainian recognized me as an American and walked up to me. His face reflected grave sympathy and concern. He began pouring out his heart in a torrent of words, but I could not understand anything he was saying. As I walked away I said to an interpreter ?What was he saying?? ?He was expressing his sympathy and support? was the reply. Here we were, stuck thousands of miles from home. Our families and friends were facing the unknown, and we could do nothing about it. The next day, while visiting the home of a local Christian missionary, I saw news clips on CNN-International. People were jumping from buildings. It took me a moment to realize what I was seeing. I will never forget it. Never. The daughter of a friend of one of my team members was killed in the North Tower on 9-11. One week later, on schedule, we flew home. Security was tight. When we arrived we were amazed at the changes that had taken place. We arrived at Dulles International and drove home. There were flags everywhere. America had clearly changed. As the months went by I realized that many common Americans had been deeply traumatized by the experiences of 9-11. They had watched it unfold before their eyes, live on television. They had endured the suspense of not knowing what was coming next. I was spared this because it was all over before I knew it had started. On each anniversary of 9-11, until justice is fully satisfied on OBL, we should watch the footage of the horror of that day. Let us not forget the death of the innocent ones. Let us not rationalize away this calculated plan to murder unsuspecting people. This is a clear case of Right versus Wrong, Civilization versus Barbarity. I support President Bush in his actions in Afghanistan, Iraq and throughout the world. We must win this conflict by ?draining the swamp? of corruption, totalitarianism and ignorance in which the terrorist mindset flourishes. The Gospel of Jesus is the best answer. The Western values of Tolerance and Freedom are based upon Christian concepts of the equality of man and a loving compassionate God. May God Bless America and keep her strong!

We left NYC by train at 10 am on the 10th. The next morning my husband called to see if my sister was working that day. She worked in a store on the Concourse of the WTC, and thankfully she wasn't working that day because I had come to visit. I watched in horror the devastatation taking place in a city that is like a second home to me. I cried all day, glued to the TV. I happen to live less than 20 miles from the Pentagon, so that attack was much closer to home. Thank God my sister didn't have to experience the horrors of that day first hand. I pray for all the people who lost their lives, and for their loved ones. I hope they may someday find peace:) 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: Being 3 hours earlier in the morning that day.... I was still fast asleep as the devastating attacks occured. My roommate woke me up when he found out about the attacks and I eagerly sat in my living room to watch the news broadcasts. Replay after replay of the second airplane hitting the trade center, images of a burning Pentagon, and interviews of worried New Yorkers had me sitting there most of the afternoon and evening. I had never been to New York, and hadn't really seen that many pictures of the World Trade center. I could tell, that day was the beginning of a new era in the way we as an American Society live. As the following months proceeded... The US Military deployed several aircraft carriers, and other submarines and ships carrying vast amounts of troops over seas. The USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) stayed out to sea for 159 consecutive days supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. In July of 2002, I enlisted in the United States Navy and volunteered my efforts to help support the strongest military in the world. I was deployed to the Medeterranean Sea in March of 2003 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I enlisted for several personal reasons... but knowing that I, as an American citizen, who will not stand for the loss of freedoms, the loss of undeniable rights to liberty, or terrorizing the lives of innocent people who represent equality and opportunity in the world. I am helping to defend a great nation - home to my friends and family... and I would make the decision to enlist all over again if I had to. The military works very hard to serve its beloved country. Every single citizen of this great land deserves the utmost secure feeling that we're doing our best to provide the protection, the freedoms, and liberties we so gratefully experience.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was about 4:00 in the afternoon on September 11 when a portion of our architecture study abroad group was en route by subway to visit an architecture firm in Berlin when the first plane must have hit the World Trade Center. When we arrived at the firm in Berlin's west side, they opened the door and asked "Have you heard yet?". The group of about 6 of us were confused, so they sat us down, got tea, and told us that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. At first we thought it was a small plane, like the one that had hit the Empire State Building years before. They had no television in the office and no one could get images on the internet--it was bogged down with heavy traffic. All we had was British Radio, and we didnt know how serious it was until we heard of second and third planes striking and the emotion of the british announcer that we knew something really serious was happening. As we made way back to our hotel, people on the street cars were asking us if we were Americans, and expressing their sorrow. When we got back, everyone's eyes were glued to tv, and we saw first images--it looked like an action movie, nothing that could possibly be real. No one could contact their parents, internet cafes were packed, and flowers began to innundate U.S Embassies. Later that night RadioHead dedicated their Berlin concert to the victims of 9/11, and a march in support of the United States was held at the last minute. Germans wore american flags across their chests, they had support gatherings in several countries. When we traveled out of Berlin, the Brandenburg Gate was draped in a black cloak that read in german "We are all Americans Today". Although our europe trip lasted its duration through November, our conflict with Afghanistan made things volitale in some places, but overall, the people were very supportive, lining up to sign condolence books. While i am sorry i wasnt able to be with my family in these hard times, it was quite an experience to see how supportive our friends in other countries can be, and what a help it was to have that kind of understanding--it was tough not being home, and the only outlet being CNN. When i came home, the airport was empty, but i had never seen so many american flags in my life, on cars, on houses..such patriotism--and i hope it lasts, because in the toughest of times, each other is what is most valuable.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I remember last year on September 11, getting to school and after my zero hour class I hear something about a plane crash in New York. It wasn't anything unique and different at first because we always hear about plane crashes. I wasn't quite sure why everyone was making such a big deal about it, but then I saw a parent walking around with a portable TV in her hand; a group consisting of a few friends and me stopped her and were allowed to watch her television. Before that day I had never even heard of the Twin Towers or the World Trade Center. I also personally knew no one in New York. I was basically clueless, as always. I never believed that terrorism and mass homocide could take place in such a great and powerful free country. Once, I learned how many people were hurt, injured, or somewhat affected emotionally by this horrifying act, my feelings were mostly of general sorrow. I just thank God that he has protected my family, me, and those of us in another part of the country. My heart aches for those injured, killed, and emotionally devistated. I am so greatful for this nation's community and how we have gathered together in this time to sorrow, however where was this community before September 11? Will it always take a national disaster to bring this nation together? Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I was shocked when the planes hit the towers. I felt sad when the tower just callapse. All those people died. Some of them probably just got to work. I will remember September 11,2001, for a long time. I went to New York the year before they came down. I even have a picture of them. September 11, was a very sad day and a lot of people will remember that day forever.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in bed when the planes hit. I was woken up by my frantic mother and we ran over to my grandma's apartment. I saw the image on the TV screen, and ran to get dressed and grabed my camera, police scanner and walkman. I clipped everything on my belt and ran down to the pier. There were few people there, it was just a bit after 9. I could see the smoking towers as soon as I hit Shore Road. As soon as I got on the pier, I began snapping pics. I made my way to the middle and just looked at the island, the smoke rising over Brooklyn towards Dyker Heights. I had 770 AM going on in one ear, and the police scanner by the other. I'm watching and listening to the news and info coming in. I hear about the Pentagon, then Pennsylvania, then even the false attacks that were broadcast. Then it happened. Tower 2 fell. The dust rose and enveloped the entire island. It looked just like when the space shuttle would be taking off. All I could do was watch and take pictures. Emergency services were saying how they had difficulty getting through, now within a dust cloud. On the pier, tension was mounting as the typical loud-mouths you'd expect were voicing their hatred for Arabs. But it was contained, for the most part. Then went Tower 1. It was a shock, no one expected those two to fall. They've been up for too long. My first thoughts were of friends that attended nearby Pace University. Then of another at BMCC, a school I decided to attend in the Spring for a rest during the winter. What seemed like an eternity later, the NYPD came down and ushered us away, closing off the pier for what would be the next two weeks. I quickly went home and got online as best I could to check on people. My best friend, one of the onesfrom Pace, phoned me as soon as I walked in. Luckily, he had night classes that day. My aunt and uncle in Florida had sent an EM to see if we were alright. And another friend came on and IMed me, worried that I may've done something stupid like run across the Brooklyn Bridge to the WTC. (She wasn't far from the truth, had I attended BMCC earlier, I'd've been there. I know 'cause I wanted to be there.) The only thing left to do was sit and watch the 24 hour news about the incident. That is till I got a call from my job at the supermarket up the block. They had shut down early for the day, and wanted me to do something. I needed the distraction, so I went in, but I took my radio with me. I was in the basement, cutting UPCs off outdated dairy products for credit, the radio playing KTU's live news feed coverage, interrupted every so often by the unusually somber voice of morning DJ Goumba Johnny. The store had opened, a few cashiers and a bookkeeper coming in. The bookkeeper was my other friend from Pace, who told me that her and her boyfriend were caught in the dust explosion while running uptown. She had seen it all, and it was disturbing. After work, my father was stuck at his job, being he's part of the Port Authority, so we hadn't seen him in a couple of days. Days we spent watching the news and listening to the radio. You can still see the effects of the attacks. As I write this now, I see ou the window crews cleaning up debris and hauling it away on barges. December 7th, 1941 was a day of infamy. What then can you call this? Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
