I was returning to the childrens hospital of philadelphia to get my cast and stitches removed and fitted for a brace. I was sitting in on a table while my Dr was removing my cast when his assistant came in and told us to turn on the radio. My Dr. stopped and went over and turned it on. We litened to them as they said that one of the towers had just been hit by a plane. I began thinking oh my goodness! But how? How could the pilot not see the towers? (like it was an accident) ...little did I or any of us know it was not. We then went into another romm to remove my stitches this room had a TV so we put it on and watched it just as the 2 nd plane crashed into the 2nd tower. I began to crry like a baby. I have many relatives in NYC and I freaked out. I later found out over the days that followed that I knew one person that died. The pilot of the plane that hit the north tower use to be a neighbor of mine and moved a few yrs ago to a different neighborhood about 5 min away. TO michael Horrocks We miss you and love you! Our prayers are with your family even 2 yrs afer this tragic event. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was already at school when i heard about what had happened. My freind Kevin had told us that some planes had hit the world trade center buildings. I thought he was just joking at first, but he kept insisting that he was telling the truth. We only watched the new in world history, because 9/11 will be huge part of history. I remember watching the news every day for the next week, and only seeing the replays of the towers getting hit and collapsing. I even watched in horror as people jumped from the upper floors. Out of this whole insident, fire fighters and policemen have been honored as heros. This event has even inspired me to help those less fortunate who have lost alot more than i have. My heart goes out to every one who lost some they loved. 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 September 11, 2001, i was in school. It was during homeroom period when one of my friends that was late to class came in and turned the TV on. I really wasn't sure at that time what she was doing, and then i heard a voice say "a second plane just hit the other world trate center". I was very sad and afraid. My aunt works 2 blocks away from the the twin towers and she called to tell us what had happened. I remember seeing the look on my dad's face when my aunt was telling him my mom was crying, and I was just puzzled. I wondered how could someone do that? What if the people in the twin towers were my family or my friends, what if it were me? I'll remeber this day always and how it must feel for the victims family and friends, I have sympathy for all of you.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was my second visit to New York City, and my first visit alone. I was there for a NAMIC conference. My flight was supposed to leave Pittsburgh Airport around noon on Monday, September 10, 2001. However, my flight was delayed due to the weather conditions in New York. There was a storm that day. My husband, Kirk, had waited with me; but two hours later, my flight was still not ready to leave. I told him to go home. He wanted me to go home with him. My company was paying for the trip, I can't just not go. Two more hours later, there is a talk of the flight been cancelled. I called Kirk to let him know. He said that he had a bad feeling and that I shouldn't go that day. Maybe I should wait until the next day and take an early flight. However, there is an early event, that I would like to attend, plus, I was worried that if I didn't check into the hotel, I would loose my reservation. Finally, at around 6PM, on September 10, 2001. I finally got on an American Airline flight and left for New York JFK Airport. Upon arriving at the JFK, I had to take a bus to Port Authority Station and from there take a taxi to the Millennium Hotel Broadway. It was 10:30 PM when I got into my hotel room on the 33rd floor. Kirk was relief to hear from me and to know that I had made it. From my hotel room, I can see the big monitor at Time Square. It's been so long since I've been to a big city. It was truly an experience. After a good night sleep, I woke up and got ready for the Breakfast. I met my co-worker and the President of our Chapter at the Breakfast. After breakfast, we gather at the conference hall for the first speaker. I don't even remember the name of the speaker, just remember the topic was something about "connectivity" and how it will change the way we live. Half way through the speech, my co-worker came to me and whispered that a plane had just hit the World Trade Center. The first thing that came to my mind was an "accident". After the speaker finished his presentation, which was around 9 or 9:30 AM. The President of NAMIC came on stage and announced that a second plane had hit the second tower. "Terrorist Attack", that's all I remembered from that point on. We were allowed to leave and call our family to let them know that we were O.K. and that we were suppose to gather back at the hall in 30 minutes to discuss our next step. I turned on my cell phone and saw that I had messages. I knew my husband had tried to call. So, I tried to call him back immediately, but there was no signal. I walked outside, thinking I can get a better signal, all I saw was people standing out on the side walk, everyone with a cell phone, desperately trying to reach love ones. I went inside and got on the elevator to try the phone in my room. In the elevator, two ladies told me that they made an announcement on the news that the Millennium Hotel was hit. I realized that there were two Millennium Hotels, one near the World Trade Center and one near Broadway, which is where I was. I started to panic, because I knew Kirk was. After couple tries, I got through from my room. I could hear the sheer panic in his voice. He wanted me to leave, but I couldn't with everything shut down. He even wanted to come and get me, but there was no way he could get into NY City. I finally calmed him down and told him that we had to meet back at the Conference Hall and I would keep him updated every 1-2 hours. The final decision was to cancel the conference. I was the lucky one that I had hotel reservation, so I had a place to stay. There were some people who came in just for the day, who didn't have a place to stay for the night, and couldn't go home. I offered this couple to share my room, they accepted, but I never heard from them again. I believe they got on a ferry and went back to New Jersey that night. I hope they made it home alright. That night, New York City was the quietest place on earth. There were no cars, no bus, no street vendors, only few people walking around, like my co-worker and myself, who were trying to find a place to eat. (Imagine not able to find a place to eat at NY City!) While walking in the City, I looked to my right, between two tall buildings, there it was, the smoke from the World Trade Center. This was my first, only, and closest encounter to the tragic event. That night, in my hotel room, I looked down the same busy street from the night before. Only to find a deserted island, surrounded by silence and the light from the police patrol. What a difference one day made! The next day, after many tries, I was able to get a train ticket and leave New York. My husband waited for me at the train station with tears of joy and relief in his eyes. One week later, we found out that I was six weeks pregnant with our first child, who is now 5 months old. We are truly blessed!

Tell us your story: Well I was in the 70th floor of tower one and I heard this loud crash and the tower trembled, so I looked out the window and I saw that there was a humongus fire above so I started to go down the stairs. I was very scared because iI could imagine the people above the level of fire. About 15 minutes later I'm out side because Iused the elevator a one point. So then I went to this guy and he told me that a plane crashed into the tower. And while he was talking, we heard a motor and then I screamed "look" everybody was screaming. So I got inside my car and started to drive off. When Iwas reaching the bridge, I saw the south tower collapse and I just kept on driving,but with trembling hands. When I got into the toll of the bridge, the north tower collapsed. When I got home I watched the news to get more information on what happened and I could not believe what I and other people passed through.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I will never be able to forget the horror I saw when I rounded the corner of Metropolitan Ave. People were staring across the river and my mouth dropped as I saw the towers burning. My hands flew to my face and I called on God. I remember saying to no one in particular "this day will live in infamy like Pearl Harbor" I watched for awhile; people told me it was a terrorist attack. I then went home and put the TV on, only Ch. 2 was broadcasting. I realized that I had to take photographs of this horrendous sight. I took various pictures at different stages crying all the time. After fielding phone calls about my brother who works near the WTC, but was not at work that day, I remembered a third cousin works in the WTC. This cousin was there in 1993 when the terrorists bombed the WTC and he was carried out because he is a parapledgic. To make a long story short, he was carried out, in a special chair he got after 1993 by 9 co-workers who would not leave him there. This was written up in the NJ Star Ledger Oct. 16, 2001. A picture of him being carried is also on photographer Bill Biggerts web site of pictures he took as the towers were coming down. He was killed but pictures were able to be printed from one of his digital cameras. To this day I cannot pass Metropolitan Ave. without looking towards the city and wishing I could wake up from the nightmare. I try to picture the WTC still there. The 3000 souls and those beautiful buildings are lost but never will be forgotten. They live in our hearts and minds forever.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: First of all, I'd like to give my condolences to all of those people who lost loved ones and may God have all of the victims in peace. For all of those who helped and volunteered in the aftermath, may God bless you all. You are all true heroes. I remember so vividly where I was and how I felt on that terrible day. I think everybody has such a clear image of that day that it goes beyond saying, it will take a lifetime to forget. I was still in bed when I got a call from my boyfriend whom at the time lived in Chicago. He asked me to turn on the television and take a look at what was happening. When I turned on the television set, and in every single channel there it was! A plane had just crashed into one of the towers. They said it was an accident, then they moved to show the Pentagon. It can't be an accident. A few minutes later comes the second plane. I was so in disbelieve. I started crying, I couldn't believe what was going on. I had chills all through my body. I called my boss and told him that I'd be taking the day off. The second plane crashing into the tower was the worst for me. Seeing how people out of desperation and anguish jumped out of the windows who knows how high up was just terrifying. I had never felt so hopeless as I felt that day. Nothing will ever be the same. That day my whole family stayed home. We didn't do anything other than watch the news. Watch over, and over and over, the planes crashing into the towers. I remember back and although it was exactly one year ago, I can remember very clearly everything about that day. I have a friend who works at the Los Angeles Airport with United Airlines and the first thing I did after I realized that that was one of the affected airlines was call her. Claudia was okay. She wasn't working that day. I thank God for that and pray for those who were there and for those passengers who died on that day. Now, a year later we are still affected by that day. I still get those chills all over my body when I talk about that day. I still think about all of those people who died and those whose lives were affected. I pray for those who left this world as well as for those who stayed and have not recouperated from there loss. May God Bless everyone, living and dead. God Bless America!!

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in my car driving to school. I had just turned into the parking lot. I was listening to the radio and I heard the news story that a plane flew into the World Trade Center but no other information was available at that time. A few minutes later my husband called me to find out if I heard about the incident yet. By that time I was walking to class. Neither of us knew any details but we both assumed it was a small plane that flew off course. Never in our wildest dreams could we have imagined what would unfold that day. We talked to each other again after class, which was an hour and a half later. By that time he had more information and the other students were starting to find out as well. Classes were being canceled and the halls became complete confusion with people trying to get home to check on their family members. People were warned to stay off of their cell phones so that the lines would be open for emergency personnel access. The drive home seemed like it was taking forever. Like me, the people in the cars around me were listening to the news while they drove home. I looked into the cars around me while waiting at a light and was able to see the anguish in the faces of others. This was a time that none of us would ever forget as we despirately tried to get home, safely. The main thing that I thought about during that ride was all of the children who lost their parent(s) that day and I still think about it today. It will always bring tears to my eyes.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: When I first heard the news about the planes crashing into the World Trade Center it was unbelievable. I was sitting at my breakfast table, hurrying down my meal, because it was time for me to go to work. I heard it on the radio and I immediately turned on the television. I first thought that it was a scene from a movie. As I watch the news coverage, reality set in. I was heart broken and concern. I thought about all the lives that were in that building and the families they represented. How devastating it would be to be in that situation. I knew several people would be injured because the workday was just beginning. Just at that moment the other plane hit the second tower. I was floored. I knew at that point that this was not a stunt or accident, but we were under attack by someone, but whom?. I was fearful for the people in the towers. I could just realize how frighten they were and how many were injured. I continued to prepare myself for work. It was very difficult to move from the television. I prayed for those involved in the incident. As time went on and the news came about the Pentagon and the plane crash in Pennsylvania, I began to wonder what was next. Are there any attacks planned for my city? I then left my home for work. Praying that my city was ok...I phoned my husband to touch bases with him. He was ok. I was thankful. I checked on my children schools. They were ok too?. We I arrived to work, everyone was in amazement as they watched the news broadcast. We could hardly believe what was going on. All sort of debates were going on throughout the office. We could barely get any work done. Everyone was so concerned about our country. I can truly say, ?September 11, 2001 is a day a will always remember and honor the people who lost their lives.?.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Introduction to the Peace Project book entitled "The Road to Peace, the Road Less Taken." The peace project became a part of my syllabus for the Fundamentals of Design class after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. This visual book is a project exploring peace and peacemakers. I introduced the project by asking my students to define a peacemaker. The class determined that a peacemaker is an active maker of peace in a conflict situation, not simply a peaceful person. A peacemaker uses and promotes non-violent means in the struggle to resolve conflict or fight oppression. Peacemakers are not always political figures. Artists may be peacemakers through the production of visual art, writing, music or performance that promotes peace or exposes oppression. With this definition, we constructed a list of possible peacemakers and each student researched two candidates. The class members practiced working collaboratively and making decisions by consensus throughout this project. During a ?teach-in,? students reported on their candidates and the group approved those that fit our definition of a peacemaker. Students then gathered photographic portraits, biographical information, quotes, and landscape photographs for each peacemaker. The visual book began as a watercolor mural keeping in mind that it would be folded into a Japanese Fold-Out book later. The peacemakers are ordered by geography, allowing for huge leaps between countries and continents, and linked by ?the road to peace? that runs through each landscape. The background paintings represent the site of the peacemakers? work. Students found it especially challenging to blend one landscape into another and coordinate their plans with the students on either side. The motto for this project quickly became ?we can not achieve peace without learning to work together.? Each student was responsible for two peacemakers, but students also worked on each other?s backgrounds when needed. Biographies for each peacemaker aim to provide some background information on the conflict they addressed and the non-violent means they used. Many of our peacemakers received the Nobel Peace Prize. Too many of them were assassinated for their views. Through this project I hope the class members, and the viewers of this book, learned about collaboration, non-violent conflict resolution, contemporary peacemakers and the positive use of propaganda. Peace is not obvious. Peace must be taught, and learned. Jeanette May Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was working late and I noticed news messages coming over the internet about plane crashes. It soon became apparent that this was becoming a big issue, so I woke up my wife and we watched the news. By this time there had been 3 crashes, flight 93 was in the air, and the two towers were up. This was at midnight our time, and later on 12 September I had to run a major Shell/Rotary/CPA/Government workshop for young entrepreneurs. This was a big affair, with the best accountants and tax experts we could arrange. We had large two large screen projectors for presentation support, and for the 30 minutes "arrival and settling" time, these were showing the news. Time after time the second 767 flew into the WTC. At 6pm I turned that off, and didn't quite know how to start. In retrospect, I belive I was traumatised to an extent, and still wonder, as I board my Monday morning B767, how it was for those people. This was especially so yesterday (11 Sep 2006) ... the only B767 flight from Australia's second largest city to the Nation's capital, on the 5th anniversary of 911, and in the air at the same time. Nevertheless, I'm very disappointed with what America did in the Middle East ... and I say this as an American citizen. I was not convinced about the WMD, and I could not see the justification for attacking Iraq. When I get a chance I watch the Jim Lehrer show which honours the 20 or so people killed in Iraq each day, and I wonder what this is all for. The main thing that disappoints me, and I said this in a letter I sent to the NY Times before the invasion (no ... not published), is the precedents that are being created in the last 50 or so years. My father was at Pearl Harbour, and flew in B24s in the 5thAAF in the Pacific War. Defending the country was the right thing to do. Korea and Vietnam were less convincing arguments. But now we are at the point where we invade a country ... for what reason? Just because we can? As an American child living in New Guinea after the war my vision of my country was that portrayed Norman Rockwell in the Saturday Evening Post. Can America be like that again? No we can't go backwards ... but moving forwards I'd like to see America adopt some old principles of aspiring to be a fairer country internally and externally.

After new seconds later we saw the pentagon hit. That was when I started to cry. why because one of my friends dad works at the pentagon. I did not know what part of the building his office was on but i just knew that some was not right. After i left school and went home. i called her house to see if her mother was home, but she was not. Two days later we founded out that her father was dead. Died in the plane crash.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The Fire by Randy Sullivan I awoke early on this beautiful Sunday morning following the attack by terrorists in New York City. My first thoughts again turned to the senseless carnage of the previous Tuesday. As I lay there I could hear my son restlessly moving around in his bed. He hasn?t slept well since the great evil of the day that turned our world around and I was hoping that he would begin to settle into his normal routine. But I could tell from the sounds that he was still having trouble. And again I found myself angry that the faceless cowards had brought pain to my son. As I lay there I decided that we should do an activity together that would bring back some normalcy to his life. I would need my chainsaw later in the day and that meant I would have to go up to our land to get it from the shed. I thought perhaps I could take him with me. We could stop at the store and get a little something to eat along the way. The radio in my old truck was turned to a country station as we made the 12-mile journey to the land. Wyatt eating his doughnut and I was sipping my coffee as we went on our way. Then my son said, dad, is that the woman with the cell phone? I wasn?t really paying attention but then heard a woman?s voice on the radio. What cell phone I asked? You know, the woman in the building talking to the fireman. It was then that I remembered the news report about the trapped woman who had called 911 from beneath the rubble. No Wyatt, she?s at home now. I didn?t tell him her home was with the Lord, as the chance of survivors has grown slim. And I knew that the pictures in his mind wouldn?t go away. At least for today. For him, for me or for my countrymen. And I wondered how other parents were dealing with this. The morning was beautiful with the eastern sun still low in the sky shinning through the trees. There was no wind and it was particularly still in the woods. The silence was wonderfully therapeutic and I could tell that Wyatt was enjoying this early morning adventure with his dad. Since we had a couple hours before church I asked him if he'd like me to make a fire in the pit. He was excited about that idea so I did. The wood was a little damp so the fire put out a lot of smoke. As the smoke wafted through the tree's it gave off sort of a misty look. And the sun?s rays were clearly seen coming through the mask of smoke. Wyatt was quite taken with the beauty of it and said, Dad, from now on when planes crash into buildings we will do this. Not quite onto his train of thought I said, do what Wyatt? He said come to the land and have a fire. I asked him why that would be helpful and he said because it's so beautiful that it makes me forget the burning buildings. For the umpteenth time since Tuesday, I held him close to my chest so that he couldn't see the tears rolling down my cheeks and told him that yes, we will do this everytime the planes hit the buildings. And once again I silently dammed the faceless cowards. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was sitting in my consumer management class and the "class clown" came in and told us all that a plane had hit the trade center building. Our teacher was very skeptical and didnt really believe him so we went on with class as usual. Then our principal came on the loudspeaker and told us all what had happened. A lot of the kids in my school had parents working down town so they all got really scared that something would happen to their parents. As the day went on and I went to my next class, the teacher was playing over and over again on her computer a video clip of the first plane hitting the towers. It all seemed so surreal. I was ashamed to admit it but i really had no clue what the twin towers were at the time. After that class, I had lunch release so as soon as we all got outside we got on our cell phones and called our parents and loved ones. I realize my story isnt as exciting or ironic as many others but I wanted to share it so people would remember that we were/are all affected by this tragedy in some way, shape, or form. I just pray that we never forget the unsung heroes of 911. God Bless. 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 has always been a special day for me because I was born 9/11/43. I was receiving birthday wishes over the phone from a friend when the 2d plane struck. I could only sit and watch in awe and then in anger. I had $33.00 in my checking account so I wrote a check for $13.00 to the Red Cross and hoped it would make a difference. All the victims of this horrible act were innocent and were not prepared for what happened to them. Their families were not prepared and while we as a Nation will go on, the families of the fallen will never be the same.I was holding my daughter then 2 months old in my arms and saw how helpless and dependent upon me she was. I also thought how helpless this entire country felt because we were in a state of shock and fear. Now a year later, she is still too young to understand so today I began a diary of what we did together, what she ate, her diaper rash, just little things to leave her from me. I also want to explain to her that September 11, is not just a special day for Daddy but a day that brought this nation closer together and it is a special day for this Nation.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 10th I got laid off and thought that it was the worse day little did I know what the next day was going to be like... The day started off nice with blue skies, I woke up early because I was used to waking up to go to work. I was still a bit upset about not having my job anymore and was planning to go back to where I worked to fill out some forms for unemploynment. So, I woke up made breakfast for me and my girlfriend and then walked her to the bus while we were walking a bus came and asked her if she wanted to rush to it she said no and we waited till the next one. So then my girlfriend gets on the bus I kiss her goodbye and then I get really upset about getting laid off I didnt cry but had no clue where to start looking since the economy was so rotten even before 9/11. So I go back to bed and watch some tv and flip the channels and then I left it on channel 4 for some reason I think to check the weather because i was also thinking about maybe playing some basketball. They were interviewing someone I forgot who but then they said they have a remarkable picture of the WTC the go on to it and I am like "Holy Crap" how are they going to rescue people there and then how are they going to fix it. So then I watch it and my father calls and tells me about. I call my girlfriend because she works liek 5-10 blocks away from it. She isnt there I leave a voice mail telling her to call me. Then after I hang up the second plane hits but at the time channel four had a different camera angle so you didnt really see the plane so i thought it was a bomb. Then the anchor says it wasnt a bomb it was another plane and they show it I am like holy shit now what so i call back my gf immediately and to tell her to call me the second she can and that we are under attack or something in the city. Still never heard from her after watching the attacks.. Then since i am by the airport there are no more sounds of regular passenger planes but sounds of military jets going by in the distance. I go to make a call with my regular phone and there is no dial tone. so then i go to my cell phone and the network is down so i had no way of calling out. My phone rings and its my father so i was able to get calls in just not out i guess because i live by the airport. I tell my father to put my sister on and o me a favor and call my gf's mom to see if maybe she heard from her. She picked up and is crying hystericaly so at first i thought maybe something happened but she just didnt hear from her yet. She asked me if she knows where Raquel is and I said i didnt know and i havent heard from her yet. I then start watching it again and I notice that the towers looked like they were swaying or leaning towards the opposite ways they were going and then then it fell and i went nuts thinking my god. I then try again to use the phone and there is a dial tone so I call Raquel again still no answer i figured she wouldnt be there but you never know. I then call my grandmother to see how she is doing and if she knows whats going on. Then as I am speak to her the other tower fell. She says she lost her tv because she didnt have cable she had regular tv. So I told her and she couldnt believe it. I then hang up thinking that maybe Raquel would call. She didnt but her mom did even more upset. So then after speaking to Raquel's upset mom I hang up the phone and all of a sudden I hear this huge roar I was like there no way something going to happen here. I look out the window and its like a spy plane from the Government witht he radar on top of it. After seeing that I put on my clothes and drive to Brooklyn to Raquel's moms house. I go on the belt parkway and its fine until i get to cross bay blvd where the traffic isnt moving. They closed the highway after pennsylvania avenue for Emergency vehicles only. So I am suck in traffic with ambulances and fire engines pasing by in the left lane. Then a school bus filled with the military in it goes by and I them load their guns and lock them into position I am like great. So I go to use my phone and its still bad and I close the flip to and curse and some people in the car next to me tell me that its not the day to be bad and gave me their phone to use.. I call my parents' house tell them about traffic. While in my car I was listening to Howard Stern and he was talking about how the Palestinians were dancing in the street..That got me really pissed that they would celebrate people dying.. Anywyay so I finally get to Raquel's mom and she is all happy and asks if i want a sandwich.. Raquel called her mom and told her that she was okay but noone called me while I was on the way there for 4 and half hours and while in traffic I kept invisioning the worst to my Raquel and her sister and got worried but then thought about and knew that everything would be okay with her..So then her mom calls her sister's phone and I speak to Raquel and it was the best feeling in the world to hear her again so I went to pick her up at the train station on Avenue X. Then after going back to her parents house I went to my parents hosue in Sheepshead Bay. On the way there I notice a while bunch of papers in the air, at first i thought they were seaguls flying high but then i saw them fall down. After I parked my car I followed a big piece of paper, picked it up and it had blood al over the back of it, i put it down, but then i found more and took one home and i have saved it. Since i live by the airport I didnt want to go back yet so I slept by Raquel's parents house and went back the next day.. After feeling miserable the day before about me getting laid off. I didnt even remember the fact that i got laid off I also felt that no matter what no job is more important than life itself...

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I woke up the morning of September 11 and went about my day just like I had every morning. My 2 year old wanted to watch his morning video while he munched his breakfast so I turned on the TV. I saw the image of the towers on the screen and it took a minute to register that was the World Trade Center and it was on fire. I thought at first the Today Show was doing a movie preview and then I saw the words "live coverage" on the bottom of the screen. I stood there in disbelief and heard the report and saw the footage of the second tower being hit I sank down on the couch where I remained for most of the rest of the day. I called family and friends anyone I could think of not just to make them aware of it but because I needed someone to share my horror and fear with. I could barely do the normal daily things my son needed from me. Here he was so young and unaware dancing around I wished for his innocence so I to could escape realizing the the truth in what I had just witnessed. I worried for his future and that of my unborn child due in April. What kind of world was he coming into. I did not know if we would be plunged into war if more attacks would come and I felt helpless to protect my children and their future. As I watched the coverage I clung to the hope that rescues would come. But hour after hour passed and no one was being found. It was an awesome realization that hit home so hard there would not be any more survivors. As the day progressed I dealt with thoughts beyond the immediate tradgedy. We had been attacked, an act of war, on American soil, it was unbelieveable. I live not far from a small airport I was terror stricken because planes fly to the Twin Cities from our little airport. Any city with big buildings could be a target I did not relax until I heard all the planes had been grounded and all were down and accounted for. Like I had never before I suddenly felt vulnerable to the conflicts and ideals of those outside our borders. I, like most Americans of my generation had always watched these things unfold on the news somewhere else in some other country, not here, not on American soil. I felt helpless and scared I wanted to do something to help. But how do you help people across the country. A single Mom I had no money to spare to send to the funds. I was expecting my second child so I could not give blood. I went out the next day to the grocery store because I had to, life was going on inspite of the tradgedy but it felt so wrong. There were all those people dead all those people who lost their loved ones. I was in the store and I saw a stand of flags I grabbed one, finally I felt like there was something I could do I could display the flag show my solidarity with the rest of America. I wept as I paid for it carried it home and hung it on my porch. I grew up in a generation without fear. We had no conflicts like this, the Gulf War occured when I was in high school but the might of our armed forces made short work of that. I grew up with the security of living in the Greatest Nation on earth. And here we were sent to our knees by an extremist act on our own soil. But every where I went in the days that followed September 11, I saw the displays of the American flag and I had hope. I do live in the Greatest Nation on earth and the people of this country cannot be intimmidated, won't be held down by radical extremists, or by any person, or nation that would threaten us. I bought a shirt with the American flag and the words UNITED WE STAND, it seem like such an insignificant thing to wear it as my contribution when others helped by giving their lives, by working the recovery and rescue effort, by giving blood, or their money. But it is not a small gesture, displaying the flag is standing with America in her time of need, it is a show of unity, of pride, of commitment, and conviction to the ideals of this country. And in that I knew I was doing my part as an American. I am proud to belong to this nation, GOD BLESS AMERICA.
