Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I remember driving to work in the morning with thoughts of the changing leaves with autumn approaching, the kids just returning to school and how Fall is my favorite season. When I arrived at the office, our office manager was on the phone with our boss who lives in Summit. He had heard about a plane crashing into one of the towers of the World Trade Center. I turned my radio on to WPLJ which broadcasts from NYC and heard a second plane had crashed into the other tower. Our boss was going to bring one of his TV sets from home so we could watch the ongoing events in the office. We could not get reception on the TV inside the office so it was rigged up outside. About 12 of us gathered around the TV and the other 3 of us tried to get info on different radio stations. My most vivid recollection is thinking about how many people worked in the towers, do I know anyone? I called my husband at home and told him to turn on the television. We spoke a couple of times back and forth. The next sound I heard was a loud quick swoosh over head. It was the fighter jets ordered to go to NYC. That's when I realized I needed to be home near my husband and children, who knew what would be next. The most important contribution I want to make to my story is this - Faith will get you through. God is not to blame. Satan does exist and influences evil. If you are still suffering turn to God and pray for peace. Prayers can be answered, however, evil will always exist. Also, please let's not beat up on our President or government about why more was not done to prevent this horrible event. We need to stick together especially now. Blaming anyone or anything will not heal us. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
