Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: We were visiting relatives in Minnesota in preparation for the final move to our new home in Maine. Driving through Champlain, Minnesota we turned on our radio and began hearing reports of smoke and fire coming out of the World Trade Center. We thought at first it was a retelling of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Then we heard that a plane had just crashed into the Pentagon. And then with horror we realized it was happening now. The first thing we thought was "Who was doing this to us, and why? Is this World War III beginning?" Then we heard it was terrorists, and that a plane had crashed in Pennsylvania. We thought that plane must have been heading for the Whitehouse in DC. We got to our old house as fast as we could so that we could watch the TV. And what we saw will be etched in our minds forever. The devastation of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was unspeakable. We haven't changed our way of life, not even a fraction of an inch. The terrorists brought this on, not knowing what they were doing or of the consequences that would follow, because the previous Clinton administration would have done nothing because the other attacks on the United States were never dealt with. But thank God we have a Christian and strong man in President Bush to guide us through the days to come. Someday they'll look back and say "How history made the man." God Bless the United States of America! Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
