Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was like almost everybody else that day. I was working. A call came in by cell phone that I needed to get to a TV because we were under attack! I had no idea what the caller meant. I drove to Fire Station 4 and walked into the ready room and joined the others who were watching TV. There on the TV I could see the first tower on fire. At first the talk was that it was some sort of air disaster, I mean how could you hit a building like that...it had to be an accident. As we were discussing and guessing what was happening the second plane showed up and hit the other tower. For an instant everyone was stunned, no one spoke. My first comment was "Osama bin Laden". Somehow in my very being I knew he had to be behind this. It was truly insane and certainly the mind of a deranged person. I couldn't watch anymore and went back to my truck and had the radio on after that. When I heard the Pentagon had been hit my heart sunk even more. I could not believe there were more planes in the sky full of terrorists. For the next few hours every story on the radio had me wondering when would it end. Finally the last plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. It was over. But it will never be over as long as we allow tyrants and lunatics to threaten the fiber of our great nation. We will only be at peace when all our enemies are defeated. Not bargained or negotiated with but destroyed. This time peace will not come with the olive branch but by the sword. God in heaven be merciful to us and give us Your grace. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
