Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I got up a bit late and drove to pick up a package at UPS. When I was in my car I couldn't understand why there was news on the local sparts talk station. As I learned what was going on my eyes misted with anger at what bastards would do this. I went home and watched the news until I had to go to soccer practice at the college I coached at. I had to drive past lambert International Airport and it was strange that day and the next few seeing all the planes parked. Practice was subdued that day and the next day at the end of practice I remarked that we were so used to practicing in the flight paths that it was so obviously quiet even with the usual voices of a team practicing. When I heard about the plane outside of Pittsburgh (nobody was giving specifics as to where)all I could think about was if my old college roommate was ok. One of our soccer players is an amazing artist and she drew an amazing picture of the burning towers with a potrait of President Bush and a fireman with his face in his hands and a candle...WOW! I then heard the song "Overcome" by the band "Live" Now it is almost a year later and I am still moved to tears. I have not become more of a patriot because, until I gave it to a foriegn student about to leave the country, I always had an American flag on my wall. I was always the guy telling people to take their hats off during the national anthem and be respectfull. I was proud of the first time I was able to vote. I have always loved America and I always will. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
