Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: At about 9:00 a.m. on September 11, 2001 one of my 4th grade students came running into my room after delivering his Science homework to one of my colleagues. He said that there was something important on tv and I might want to turn the tv to the news. (We have tv monitors in our room for the daily annoucements, videos, and our clock. We also have access to local channels, but they are rarely watched.) I changed the channel to one of our local affiliates and immediately saw Tower 1 in flames. We watched as the second plane hit Tower 2. The kids didn't understand the magnitude of the event they were watching, but all the teachers did. We found ourselves often in the hallways to get updates and to hide our tears from our students. I was on the phone with my mother checking on my family members when she screamed that one of the towers was collapsing. It was a horrific day. The uncle of one of my students worked in the Pentagon. Fortunately, he was fine. The brother of a friend of mine was a firefighter with Ladder 3 and perished in the Towers. It is truly a day that will live in infamy. God bless the victims, their families and friends. God Bless America!!! Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
