Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On the morning of September 11, 2001, I was at work just like any other work day. Everything was just a typical day until I heard on the radio the news that the World Trade Center in New York had been struck by a plane. At first, I sat in disbelief, then listened even more intently as a second plane hit. I called my girlfriend at her job to talk about it, then called my dad who lives in Florida to talk about it and just to hear his voice. I searched for news web sites on my computer and quickly went to ABC News. I immediately thought of my 2 cousins who work in New York City - one as a broker and living near the World Trade Center, the other as a public relations representative. I called my aunt and uncle to see if they had any news on my cousins, but since the phone lines were not working in New York, especially cell phone lines, they had no news. Then the plane crashed into the Pentagon and more sadness filled my heart. America was being targeted and we had no idea who was behind this evil. More time passed and a then the news of a plane crash in Pennsylvania. I thought of all of the people who lost their lives, their families, their friends, the men and women who gave their lives in rescue efforts. It was surely a day that would forever stay in my mind. I heard later that day that my cousins were ok in New York, but they were at a big loss since they had lost many of their friends and business associates. I was filled with sadness that day, and disbelief, and anger. Many of those feelings linger, but I can say that the American spirit lifted the hearts of people around the world. We need to keep that spriti alive in all of us and bring everyone who was involved in this horrible tragedy against the United States to justice. We need to continue to value life and our freedoms as much as we always should have - not just for the moment. We are proud to live in American and should be proud to have a President that truly cares about all of us and is a genuine person. God Bless America! Always remember all of those that were affected on September 11, 2001. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
