Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was driving to work on that beautiful morning of Sept. 11th. Every day on a particular stretch of road in the Watchung Mountains I could look over and see the skyline of NYC. On that morning I said to myself, "it is so clear and beautiful, I can see the towers perfectly". Right after the 1st plane hit a co-worker got a phone call from her husband saying something hit one of the towers and they thought it was a plane. Then I got a phone call from my Mom, she was crying telling me a plane had crashed into the tower. They she called again about 10 after 9 to tell me another plane had crashed into the other tower. I was keeping my co-workers up to speed as things unfolded. I also phoned my sister who works for the state and kept telling her what was happening. I remember saying to my co-workers "this means war"! Once the Pentagon was hit, our CEO told everyone they could leave if they wanted to. We all felt the need to be with our families. The strange thing is there was no hysteria, no road rage. Everyone was overly polite, people let others cut in line of traffic, everyone was concerned for their neighbor. I personally knew a Port Authority Policeman who was lost. Robert Kaulfers from Kenilworth, NJ. It was and still is a very sad day for our nation. But justice will prevail. Thank God for our Great President! Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
