Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband called me; he was frantic and yelling that we had been attacked! He kept shouting that terrorists had flown planes into the twin towers. I was shocked, dumbfounded and angry, but I felt no fear. I went to the others with whom I work and told them; then I said we had to get a TV up in the Board Room; we had to know what was going on; we had to know what we had to do! Our Ex. Director got the TV and everyone in the building gradually heard of this unthinkable rape upon our people. We gathered in the room and watched in disbelief and wiped away the tears. Work was at a standstill; no one was able to concentrate on the policies to be revised or the transfer list to be updated; we were numb. since we work for the state; certain emergency steps were initiated; we were all prepared to travel to New York city and lend a hand. I am a registered nurse; I wanted to comfort and console and I prayed that I would be called upon. I needed to do something; I needed to be there. Perhaps if I were there, I wouldn't think so much. But, none of us were called;we were thanked for volunteering and being on stand by. How could anyone be that evil and so callous as to attack civilians; then say it was done in the name of their God! With time, may they feel the power of our God, of our people, of our unity, of our nation. I am proud of our country and our people; more proud than ever before. Everywhere I go, I see the flag and I smile and thank God for my America. We are one, more so than ever; that is what the terrorists did, not destroy us, not disable us; you made us stronger. Loved ones were murdered; we will weep but we will remember how brave they all were. We are comforted in knowing that the angels gathered them all and each and everyone of them watch over us. We continue to battle terror in the only language they know; with missiles, planes, guns, ships; our troops, both here and abroad, are fearless in their tasks; they know what is at stake. God bless you all; for protecting our country, for protecting our freedom. Stay safe and know that you are loved. May the future generations know the events of September 11, 2001; may they understand what this great country means and the sacrifices many have endured. I am proud of my country and proud to be an American. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
