Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was working the night shift at a small community hospital. I was watching the news alone in the lunch room when the local new channel had urgent news in from NY of a fire at the WTC, i continued to watch and wasn't really sure what was going on, There was some talk of an attack, then the second plain hit! i ran to the front office and told everyone that was working. I guess it didn't set in to them what i was telling them, because they just looked at me half asleep. I then went back to watch the tv slowly workers walked in, soon it sank in what was going on. I just wanted to go home and call my 7yr. old son, he lives with his mom and stepdad who is in the Army at Ft. Knox, KY. I called as soon as i could get through, it was amazing of how busy the lines were, Paul(sons stepdad) answered I asked him if he was watching what wasgoing on , he informed me that he didn't know until he was woken up and put on stand-by, by the army. I was happy to hear that at a moments notice that the US armed forces was ready to defend our freedom, and protect our home land. We continued to conversate about what was going on and if he had any info. I heard my son in background asking Paul if that was "dad" on the phone paul said yes and gave my son the phone, the first words out of my sons mouth was "are you okay, pop's" here i was worried about my son who was almost 2000 miles away and to hear that i knew he was okay. i said yes and we exchanged Ilove you's, and we talked for at least an hour. It was hard i just wanted to hold and protect my son from what ever the future was holding. it was time to say our goodbye's and he told me not to worry cause Paul and his mom would take care of him and his soon to come baby sister. because in his words "we have tanks and god".
