Sandra, our prayers are with you and all of the other people who have been personally touched by these horrible acts.
I work on an Army post, and right now we are at Threatcon Delta, which is the highest level of alert that we can go to. Here in Maryland, all of the public schools and colleges are closed, people are urged to stay off the phone lines so police can have the bandwidth for emergencies. I have a good friend who works in the Pentagon, and I've no idea how he is doing, I have been unable to reach his wife.
In addition to prayer, let me encourage everyone who possibly can to donate blood, even if you live out on the "left coast". There will be a tremendous shortage of blood in this area due to these tragedies. Everyone who gives will be contributing to our country's ability to spring back and fight back against cowardly terrorist acts such as these. To find out where you can donate, call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE or log on to www.redcross.com.
