I was just getting the patients all into the dayroom when one of my co-workers came in and said did you hear what just happened, you better turn the T.V. on. So I turned it on and I was just devastated by what I had seen, I started to cry and so did some of the patients. We all started to pray for all the people and their families that were affected by all this devastation. I then started thinking about my son who is in the United States Army and how his unit had just gotten orders the other day that they were going to Bosnia. I was worried enough about him going to Bosnia, but when I seen this I worried even more. So then I started wondering if he would be okay. So when I got a chance I went and called my son, he said he couldn't say much just that they were on a high security alert right now, he assured me that he would be okay and that he was well trained for this type of thing. So after all that my co-workers and I then started a fundraiser and made patriotic pins and sold them and sent all the funds to the Red Cross Foundstion in New York City. My heart goes out to all those people and their families. I pray for them everyday since this whole thing happened.
