I got a call from my daughter, "A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center"! Could it be a terrible accident? Another call a second plane has crashed--we are at war! A third call a plane has crashed into the Pentagon and shortly after the towers have fallen. I need to be with my family. My second daughter, a student at the school where I work and a member of MA 2 DMAT's an emergency medical assistance team, comes to see me to tell me the team has been activated and she and my husband will leave that night.
I rush home with her to buy her boots and supplies for their deployment. My two daughters, son and son in law and husband leave to load up the truck that will carry the supplies they take to New York. I sit in front of the television watching the horror of the day unfold. Almost midnight my husband comes home for his uniforms kisses me goodbye and leaves, God protect them and let them help as many people as they can.
