Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: About three weeks prior to September 11th, I moved in with my parents (they live in Las Vegas). I was sleeping when my mom woke me up and said, "We're being attacked!! We're being attacked!!" Since there is a lot of construction going on all throughout Las Vegas, I heard a lot of noise outside the bedroom windown. Naturally, I assumed we were being attacked in the front yard of the home. Little did I know, It was on the other side of the U.S. However, the terrorist threats filtered immediately into Las Vegas, shutting down EVERYTHING!!! This includes all malls for two days, the post office, airport, some of the casinos. During the next five days, when I wasn't exercising, I was glued to the television. I kept it on the news 24 hours a day, watching updates, stories, and hoping people would find their friends and loved ones in the tragedy. On Friday night, I left the house to go to dinner and was stunned when the bar at the restaurant chose to air sports instead of news. I thought, "How could anyone NOT watch news during a time like this?" It's reasuring to know that NOBODY has forgotten this day, yet the terrorists did NOT stop anyone from continuing with their daily lives. We will do away with terrorists, eventually. Hopefully sooner than later. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
