Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had dropped my son off at middle school and driven on to work. I had to have my office open by 9:00 a.m. I have a television in my office and after I turned my computer on I flipped on the television. The first thing I saw was the first tower on fire. I thought it was some movie until I turned the sound up and realized this was real. As I watched in utter disbelief the second tower was it. I think I was numb for a few minutes and then the tears came along with anger. I watched with so many emotions going on all at once. I prayed with our nation for the lives of those in the towers and wanted to wrap my arms around the babies that would not see their mom or dad again. I felt great pride in the courage of this nation as we pitched in to help. I thought of my history lessons taught so many years before about strength and courage and heorism and knew that I was seeing first hand these things we were told about when our country fought for its freedom. We are again in that fight as as before I believe we will succeed so that my son and grandchildren can continue to be free. I was reminded of the assasination of President Kennedy and how someone wanted our nation to crumble, but our great sorrow only made us stronger then as it is now. This is truly a nation under God and we will prevail. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
