Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The phone rings. I'm too tired and too lazy to get it. I had to work 'till midnight the night before. After couple of rings I finally get up and answer the phone. "Honney turn on the TV. Something is wrong" It was my husband. He sounded worried. " I cant talk but I'll try to call you back as soon as possible." My husband served in the U.S. Army at that time. My heart stopped when I saw the World Trade Center. At first I couldnt believe it. I called my mom and she confirmed the terrible news. I tried to call my husband back but his and all the military cell phones were confiscated. No one could contact their love ones. The military post closed out from the rest of the world. I started to worry. President Bush talks about terrorist attack war and military deployment. Will I ever see my husband? Week ago we found out I was preagnant, now I might have to face the preagnancy and the war all by myself. I had to go to work that morning. It was the worst day of my life. All the businesses closed down. People were in panic. No one knew if we would be under attack as well. It seemed like the day would never end. I was stuck at work with my mind in New York. Not knowing where my husband is and whats worse not knowing if hes still in the states. I had to stay calm because of the preagnancy. Finally my shift was over and on my way out stood my husband. "Don't worry babe, everything will be OK, We'll see in due time" My husband was not deployed that day, but his company was next on the list. Luckily he was ordered to stay and protect the base. My prayers were answered. I still get the goose-bumps thinking about that day. And I thank God for saving my husband and his company.
