Still..I'm safe, as are my friends.

Still ok here, as well as 1slick_lady(Helen).  Our Flag is flying at half mast along with a black ribbon on our tree.  As we wait to hear from the Army that the reserves are to be activated to have our eldest son  Brian, be taken to battle the men and country that has done this to our great country.  And are saying prayers for all the families that have already had a loss within.  For we must be strong for the weak and we must be smart for the strength to help, rebuild, and bring these people that did this down.

Hope he is well

Charisma, many on your list are fine.  They are just getting on with daily activities, as many of us have to do.  

Keep in mind that our prayers need to go to the folks who work in Emergency Aid - and please, people, see if your areas' Red Cross facilities are taking blood.  Be a Donor.

Thanks!

send your kids to their rooms cuz they need to get all the clothes they have outgrown and send it to the cities that were hurt. I betcha got stuff you will never fit into either so send it along. Find out the number to call from your local information services. This is Walt signing out.

Excellent idea, Walt.  Along that line, make the connection, again, with your local Red Cross and see what else might be done with our Helping Hands.

HEy all,

I do live in New York, but currently I'm in Boston for college. My brother was two blocks away when the WTC began to collapse. He hid from falling debris under a bus. He walked away, shocked and confused, covered with dust and ashes, but thank God he wasn't hurt. My uncle who works right near the WTC was late for work that morning, so he was lucky. He turned the car around when he heard about it on the radio. My brother's best friend was actually in one of the Twins when the first plane hit. I don't know the details, but he was able to get out and is also all right. It was really horrible. I still can't fully grasp the fact that it happened...

I have heard from Domzi -
============================================
'I just wanted to thank you for your concern.
Fellow people of mine have expressed their concern and I truly appreciate it.
I'm blessed to be able to live through it.
Even though I live in Brooklyn, we were close enough to witness to the entire ordeal.'
============================================

***A report on my own friends -

A friend of mine who worked in Tower #2 has been located by his parents at an area hospital.  He has lost part of his hand, but is alive !

Another friend, who is a NY Firefighter, has not been located yet ... please keep Brian in your prayers.
