911DA Story: Story
I am a registered nurse. I felt compelled to help. I went directly to my closest hospital knowing that they would use me or send me on. I stayed there and we set up triage. We took orders. We understood our orders. We waited....for the injured, burned, the broken. By 2pm, we were told to go home. There were no patients.
It was the most empty feeling I ever had.
Since that day, I help out with the Red Cross where ever and when ever I can. Sometimes it is scheduling volunteers, sometimes working in the family centers. It is so sad, no matter where it is. All I want to do is bring these people back, bring the towers back, bring the City back. Bring myself back to where I was before 9/11.
We will never be the same. We can never forget. We can always support our troops and pray for them.
I feel blessed living in America. Really blessed.
