Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The morning of September 11th started out just like many others for me. I got up and was in to work around 6:00 am at the hotel I work at. (I am the front desk manager, and also am part of the hotel's medical emergency team.) Around 6:30am an elderly woman approached the front desk stating that her husband was having trouble breathing. I went to the couple's guestroom to assist with oxygen. While waiting for paramedics, she told me why they were in Denver. The couple was traveling with HBO promoting the series "Band of Brothers", which was based on an Army company in WWII. I discovered the gentleman I was assisting was one of the living survivors of that company. After the paramedics had taken the couple to the hospital, I returned down to the front desk only to discover the horror the day would bring. About 75% of the hotel's guests happened to be from NYC that day. I have never seen such widespread fear and anguish of the unknown. It was a very trying day, but toward the end of the day, I wanted to follow up on the gentleman I had helped early that morning. He was still in the hospital, but doing well. I was able to visit with him, and that conversation is one I will never forget. He talked of the horror of WWII, and the devastation war causes. I cried when he spoke of his friends who died to protect our country and our freedom so that we would face war no more. The man was Carwood Lipton, and the appreciation he gave me for our American soldiers is something no terrorist act will ever diminish, only strengthen.
