Title A name given to the resource TomPaine.com Stories Description An account of the resource TomPaine.com -- a liberal advocacy organization -- distributed a public call on August 12, 2002 for 300 word "opinion advertisement" similar to those that the organization had been running regularly in the op-ed page of The New York Times. TomPaine.com received hundreds of submissions from the public, most of which the September 11 Digital Archive has preserved here. TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story "Toward a More Perfect Union" If 9/11 was a wake up call, what did we see when we opened our eyes? I believe it was a wake up call and this terrible tragedy will be a day of remembrance forever. The anniversary of the September 11 attack is just around the corner. This horrible day showed all Americans how lucky we are to live in America and have freedom and rights that we have. I believe this opened the eyes of all Americans. People from all across America hung flags outside their houses, on their cars, and have gone out of their way to donate blood. In my personal experience on a trip to New York, I found it heartbreaking to see ground zero. A wreath hung on a fence in remembrance of those who died at the world trade centers. It seemed like the citizens of New York had gone on with their lives, taking their daily walk or sitting under a tree reading a book. In my opinion, the only good that came ot of this reprehensible act was that airports became more aware of suspicious passengers. In my personal experience at an airport, after September 11, I was surprised to see how the airline attendants did such an extensive search on all luggage. America has never been the victim. Hopefully we can regain our pride and no looked down on upon other countries. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
