Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was off from work that day and i was sleeping in (or so I thought) when my fiance woke me up and told me that something had hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and I almost didn't get up-it seemed so unbelievable and I thought I was still dreaming. But I did wake up in time to see the second plane hit and of course the collapse of the towers. I woke up my sister and told her what had happened and she told me to quit to making up crazy things-I explained to her that she knows me better than that and that I couldn't make up something as horrible as this, nor would I ever propose to do so. A few minutes later my mother called us crying and told us that she had shut down her office-nobody could function anyway. She asked us to go over to her house because she like the rest of the world needed to be with her family. We went to her and decided to go give blood. What else can you do? I wasn't allowed to give blood or plasma beause I had had hepatitis as a teenager so I volunteered to give out sign-up forms and keep the people in order. I couldn't help but want to contribute somehow. All of downtown Dallas was evacuated because, of course, we have a World Trade Center here as well. I couldn't help but think are we next? This town like all the nation was shut down and in mourning. Everyone was affected and it was absolutely the most solemn day in my life. I will never forget it as I'm sure nobody else in this life ever will. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
