Title A name given to the resource Library of Congress Stories Description An account of the resource A collection of more than 200 user-submitted stories gathered from the Library of Congress's "Witness and Response" exhibition staged in 2002. LC Story LC Story: Story Where were you on September 11, 2001 when you heard the news? (Please share your experience of learning of the events and what you did afterwards.) I was driving to work when my daughter called and said a plane had flown into one of the towers. We thought it was an accident, until the second plane hit. At the time, I coordinated travel for several employees, some of whom were in New York City. It took two days to get in touch with everyone and find that they were all okay. Most of them rented cars and drove back to Memphis since all flights were cancelled. I had a class that night at Bellhaven College, and when they told us we had to park outside the garage for security reasons, I cut class and went home and cried. LC Story: Memory What is your strongest memory of that day? Absolute shock and disbelieve, soon replaced by grief that was almost unbearable. I was also surprised and heartened at the outpouring of love and grief from citizens of other nations. We've stood by many other nations in their time of need, but I don't remember any other nation standing by the USA until September 11, 2001. LC Story: Affects How do you perceive that the events of September 11, 2001 have affected this country and/or you personally? As a nation we were wounded, but it only served to unite us as we hadn't been for a very long time. Strangely enough, I left the private sector after the attacks and came to work for the U. S. Navy in the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Division. I consider it a privilege and an honor to help take care of the ones who are taking care of us all.
