Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband had just gotten out of the Air Force and was waiting to get a job from the FAA as an Air Traffic Controller. We were not working at the time, as we were just waiting for the call as to when and where he would start, and we were currently living with my parents. That morning, I was struggling to get out the door on time. I had an appointment at the WIC office, to get milk coupons for my daughter(as we had no income). I remember getting on the freeway, turning on the radio and hearing that two planes had crashed into the towers. I was not sure if it was a joke or not, but when I heard that they were in fear that Seattle may be a target as well and had shut down all of the ferry systems on the Puget Sound, I knew it was real and was in a kind of shocked and awe state. I feared for the safety of the people in the towers. I then began to wonder if my mother would be alright as she worked in downtown Seattle in one of the skyscrapers, and if so, how she would even get home(She rode the ferry everyday as we lived across the Sound.) I also worried that my husband was going to have to return to the Air Force immediately and deploy. When I returned home, I watched the news and could not believe what had happened. The devastation was really overwhelming. It really makes you thankful for what you have. My problems of my family being unemployed seemed so miniscule now, I was just overjoyed that we were together and safe!
