911DA Story: Story

I went to work at 7:00 a.m. at McConnell AFB and got all my work done for the afternoon. When our shop turned on the tv we saw one plane hit the first tower and then the other tower got hit and fell....I was in total shock!!! For the rest of the day our shop watched the news not believing what just happened, relatives were phoned. I am from Wichita KS so I knew my family was alright but my mom was afraid they were going to deploy me asap. We got released early from work that day so we could reflect and get into reality what just happened hours ago...I will never forget that day as long as I live. I am just thankful for my family being ok but will always have my heart poured out to the lives that were lost and to the familys. "United we stand"

Sincerely,
SrA Danielle L. Hardin
