Sheila I am glad to hear that something so tragic had some positive impact on you. You are a very special person, your dad is lucky to have you! It put so many things into perspective for me that day, I know the impact on us all is different. I was at work that day and watched it all unfold on TV, when the plane hit the Pentagon we were on code red alert, nurses and doctors and essential personnel were not allowed to leave that day. Seeing that the Pentagon is 30 miles from my work, it set a fear in me like nothing ever before. I felt a STRONG desire to help out on that day, after our shift was allowed to go home, I immediately got online and became a Red Cross volunteer as a nurse. I felt compelled to do something that very moment. I cried for days after watching it all on TV, it changed me forever!
