On 9/11 2001 I was treating patients in my clinic in Farmington Hills, Michigan when I received an urgent telephone call from my daughter, Rebecca Ellens (Chino Valley, AZ), a nationally notable therapist and international lecturer, indicating that the first tower had been struck. She was, of course, anxious and mystified as to what was […]
I was at Lutheran School of Nursing and happened to walk by a TV in the formal lounge of our school and saw the first plane crash into the first tower. I was shocked and could not understand how the pilot could be so off flight pattern. I called my husband as he is originally […]
My family had left for work and school. I was preparing for another long day at WRAMC. More post op rituals. The phone rang and it was my late father, he said, “Bill, turn on the TV.” and hung up. I turned on the television and the first tower was burning. Then I saw the […]
I was living in Pittsburgh, PA and working downtown. When I heard about the attacks, my boss and I were sitting in a meeting covering postal regulations when a woman came in and made the announcement. There was stunned silence.

I was at work and saw the events on the TV monitor in our break room. As a member of the 263d AAMDC in the S.C. National Guard we were activated on 10/10. Members of our unit have been on active duty every day since 9/11. We have had deployments all over the world since […]
I was sitting in my floor looking at magazines trying to find a new hairstyle. I happened to be off from work that day. I had the t.v. on, but wasn’t really watching it. All of a sudden, everything started happening. I couldn’t quit watching, for days. It was surreal. I remember the eeriness when all air traffic was grounded. Then, […]
On 9/11 I was employed at the FDA located in Southwest DC. About 9:30 am we felt the building shake and we were a little over 2 miles from the Pentagon. When the news broke and we left work, I got my van on the road to pick up my 14 passengers all who work […]
