Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: One of our customers came running in the door screaming the WTC was hit by a plane! In disbelief, we all immediately turned our television on to CNN and yelled for the Doctor's to come see, as we thought we were watching a re-play when in fact it was the second plane striking the WTC! The office stood in horror, we were shocked, didn't know what to think. I remember the look on everyone's face when they announced it was 2 planes that hit, the tears that began to flow. How my body went numb, and suddenly I felt so lifeless, empty. I was so shaken by the turn of event's I couldn't function at work, and went home to get my kids and be with my family. I first called my Mom to see if she had gotten in touch with her brother who lives in NY, (amongst all our other family that lives there) and she couldn't get through on the phone lines, all circuits were busy. I finally got through briefly on my cell phone and was able to do a 3-way call so my Mom could talk to her brother, and all we did was cry on the phone. My Grandfather was in WWI, my Father was in WWII, and my Brother was in Vietnam. I have heard war stories all my life, but nothing could ever prepare me for what "9/11" was going to do to me and the world! For the first time in my 35 years of life, my freedom was threaten on that day, a feeling I never want to feel again, for me or any other american. God Bless all our Hero's, for without them we would not have our freedom!!! PEACE GOD BLESS AMERICA PATRICIA'S STORY 9/11/02 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
