Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I will never forget that moment. As I sat with my 7 year old son on our couch, watching the first tower burn, crying and wondering what, who, how this happened, the second plane hit. The fear from the reality that we were being attacked was overwhelming. I was overcome with emotions as I sat holding my son. How do you explain to a 7 year old what is happening? "Why are you crying Mommy?" he'd ask, not grasping that what we were watching was real and not some T.V. show. As I explained to him that while we were sitting there on the couch, thousands of people were dying, he began to cry. In the days after the attack, patriotism flooded America. For the first time I could honestly say I was proud to be an American. We cannot let that feeling die. It is our duty as Americans to become bigger and better that ever before. We owe it to all the Americans that have given there lives for this country. Not only for those who have fought for our country but also for those who unwilling died. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS MY FELLOW AMERICANS!!! Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
