Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I remember well the day. It started out with a beautiful sunrise on this crisp near-autumn day. I am a nurse and was working the night shiftt from 7 pm 9/10 to 7 am 9/11. I was in my patients room doing a last minute check before giving report to the oncoming shift. My patient had her television on and was watching a special news broadcast. What I witnessed on the television screen reminded my of a Hollywood horror movie, which at the time I thought it was. Good Morning America is always showing and giving us the cutting edge in news and events. I thought this was a clip from an upcoming movie. I was stunned and shocked to learn that this was really happening!!!! After working 12 hours I was ready to go home and sleep to prepare for the coming shift that night. Sleep eluded me as I watched the two towers one by one crumble and fall. And then boom!!!!!!! Another tragedy hits as the Pentagon is hit and torn apart. Soon there were scenes from a quiet and beautiful Pensylvania countryside where yet another plane had crashed. I was later to learn of the bravery and sacrifice of the Americans on board that flight, in deterring it from killing 100's maybe thousands more. So many owe their very lives to the bravery and quick thinking Americans who sacrificed thieir lives that tragic day in Pensylvania. PLEASE, let us never forget the lives lost that day, just one year ago that brought America to her knees in prayer for the victims and their families. The day that united our hearts and strengthened our resolve to NEVER NEVER NEVER give in to the horrors of terrorism, but instead stay united in our firm conviction that we would not tolerate these acts to go unpunished, thus shattering the great American dream of freedom and justice for all within her borders. May God continue to bless America!!!!!! Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
