Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: As far as I was concerned it was just another mundane day, that is...until I got out of bed. For some strange reason, I turned on the television as soon as I woke up... and this is something I don't normally do. Peculiar as this is, I woke up at about 9:00, so you can imagine the media coverage by now. I must have seen the first plane hit the tower about 8 times, before I finally could pick my jaw up off the floor. My initial reaction was (as I'm sure many others would completely agree) "I can't believe this... is this really happening?" It probably sunk in today. For months, I was still in disbelief that something like this could happen. That something.. I wont even give the credit to these terrorists as being human beings. The don't deserve the credit to be put alongside living, breathing people with heartbeats as being called a human. I can remember exactly what my morning was like, where I was, and what was going on around me when this all happened... I will spare you the details, but I have kept a journal of that day... I wrote my feelings on paper as I was watching the news unfold. It is just a really sad thing to witness... and over and over again... We can ask why till' we're blue in the face, but nothing will ever change the fact that these cold blooded killers took so many lives. I just want to say that I'm proud to be an american, and it's really sad that it took something like this to wake everyone up. And I'm proud to be an american every day.. not only on september eleventh. I admit that I wasn't as patriotic before.. but we are very fortunate to live here.. we don't live under a dictatorship, or the rule of an emporer, or queen.. we are indeed FREE. think about it. God Bless America.. forever Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
