Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was asleep when the first plane hit. My husband was watching the news and woke me up screaming. I ran to the TV screen and I was in total disbelief. I just kept thinking that could not be an accident....then the second plane hit, which, of course, confirmed it was terrorism. I had read about Bin Laden weeks earlier and immediately thought he was behind it. I worked in a building that had over 30 floors and remember thinking we would not be safe. Fortunately, they shut down the building for 2 days since everyone was too shocked to go to work. I did not lose friends or family members in 911, but the memory of those who died (and especially of those images on the television) will stay with me for the rest of my life. It is easy to get teary just thinking about it. Now it's easier to understand when elders speak about the horrors of Pearl Harbor, World War II, and the VietNam War. Now I can say that my generation knows what horror is all about -- we witnessed it on 911. May God have mercy on all of us for making such a mess of this planet and may God bring to justice those that have inflicted so much pain and suffering on the innocent. God bless America and everyone who strives for peace. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
