Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was born & grew up in N.J. in Mercer County, moved to Ocean County for a brief time & then in Middlesex County,(1989) I only lived 35 miles from N.Y., the house I lived in for over 10 yrs. was so high you could see Staten Island -Iwas a Nursing Staff Coordinator & the bus I would get to work was on Main St.- I met alot of people every A.M. while we waited for the bus,most who worked in N.Y., went on their way & we always said "SEE YA TOMORROW" I had an offer to move to Alaska- who could refuse? I moved there March 2001. The A.M. this happen- It was 5:30 A.M. AK -I thought I hit the remote (I was half alseep yet) & turned on a horror movie- AS my eyes cleared I said "OH MY GOD!" this was for real. I was all alone, my family lives in Jersey & the guy I live,with was in Kodiak AK.,doing inspection work. I opened the front door of my apt. & my neighbor was sitting out side; her husband was in the military right down the road.,he was called in! I said to her "IS THIS really happening?"we hugged and cried- who knew what was going to happen next? I tried to call N.J.,couldn't get through. As I watched on T.V., not still beleiving what I had seen or was seeing- everyone glued 24/7--OUR lives all changed and it will never be the same. When I talked to freinds ,in the Woodbridge area,the newspaper had after the this horrible thing- showed the pictures of area people that were lost-& killed, there were 35! ones I talked to at the bus stop-all of us complaing about the bus being late- standing out in the cold- little did we KNOW!!!THAT we would never see each other again- not because of a move due to advancement that you leave the area etc-BUT because of a SICK person or persons that feel the way they do!!! Who did they really hurt? Not the government- we might have lost some ground but in other ways we gained more- I am so proud to be an American-when the PA. flight was going down, how could you not be proud of these people, that could have taken a chance and hoped that something good came out of it-but knew that it would be up to them--I said enough, GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!! and may we never see anything like this again- BUT on a final note we have to STOP letting these people in our country and "slipping" through the system!! STAND UP! It should not take a mess like this to bring us together! Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
