Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The weekend before 911 my parents were in NYC staying at the mariott world trade. They were supposed to stay for a week and would have been there on 911 my college classes were starting back up that week and they watch my daughter for me while i was at school. they decided to come back early to watch my daughter for me. on 911 i was at school i had an early morn class and was in the cafe after class was over this girl runs in and yells "A Plane just hit the world trade center" we turned on the Tv and watched i ran to my car and got home as fast as i could. when i turned my car on that was when the second tower was hit i was beginning to get really nervous and anxoius to get home. i just wanted to get home to my daughter who at the time was not even one. if we were under attack i wanted to be with her. Then the Pentagon was hit while i'm still driving. all aircraft was already grounded. but i still saw them in the sky and really began to panic. all unmarked trailer trucks scared me i almost got into lots of accidents trying to get away from them thinking there are bombs in the back. I get home and get my step dad who was sleeping he did not know what was going on. i woke up my daughter from her nap and just held her and cried while watching all this terror unfold. I called my mom because she was in Boston with my grandfather and asked her if hse was ok i told her what happened because they didn't even know they never heard it I told her 2 of the planes faome from Logan and to get out of the city as fast as possible. I"m very grateful in not lossing anyone that day and am more grateful that my step brother has not been shipped out during our War on Terrorism. Today I went to a memorial at our local fire station while my daughter who will be 3 9/17 was at school. We are grateful in our town that noone has been lost. but our hearts and prayers go out to all those who suffered in this tragidy. On 9/13 there is a memorial for a local women who is form the next town frm me who was on one of the flights from Logan airport in Boston. some of her remains were just found and sent home. After 2 years parts of her remains were finally found it was only bone fragments but at least it's something to give the family a tiny bit of Closure. I'm thinking of going to pay my respects I don't know the family but i feel it's part of my duty as an American to pay my respects. God Bless us all. and May God bring these terrorist to Justice Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
