1 10 Year Anniversary: 9/11 Presentation Daughters of the American Revolution Beckley, WV Good morning, I would like to thank you for asking me to come in and share my experiences in New York on the days following the 9/11 attacks. I must admit that my knowledge on the DAR was extremely limited, so I wanted to learn a little bit more about the organization before speaking today. I found that one of your objectives is Education to promote knowledge and enlightenment of public opinion and also, Patriotism to cherish, maintain, and extend the institutions of American freedom and foster love of country. I believe that my story can relate to both aspects of your organization s objectives. What I would like to recant are not only my personal experiences, those things I saw, but I also want to share with you those moments of humanity and compassion. The time when I truly understood what it was to be an American. My experience is not unique. Many of the stories retold by family, friends, and responders sound the same, but to really understand my experience, I would like to take a step back and tell you about my first trip to NYC in the fall of I was in college studying to be a teacher. I had no interest in Emergency Services, and no true experiences outside of southern West Virginia, and certainly none in the big city. But in that first year of college I was involved in the Art History Club, and we took a weeklong trip to New York City to see all the Museums

2 and absorb as much of the culture as we could. It was The city that never sleeps. A city where rarely direct sunlight was seen because of the skyscrapers blocking out the light. An intimidating city, gruff and unfriendly. Where stepping over the homeless living on the streets begging for money was common place. I was delighted to go NYC, but I was ecstatic when it was time to come home. The city opened my eyes to more than just art history, it opened my eyes to a society that was unlike the one I was familiar with. And just like most of the experiences you encounter in life, they silently lay a path of how you perceive and interact with the world around you. When I returned to New York City nearly 8 years later, I had a hugely different impression of the city that never sleeps. My husband, at that time, was Chief of Operations at General Ambulance Service and immediately began calling NYC to see if we could be of assistance. It wasn t until later that evening that the approval was received and we were mobilized to action. We traveled all night. As morning came, and we got closer to NYC there were less and less cars traveling north and the southbound lane was jammed with cars. We passed large flashing signs along the interstate saying NYC closed. We made our way through three military check points, showing them our ID s and Certifications. They would wave us through saluting us as we pass. It was a humbling experience. These were men and women serving our country the truest of American Heroes and they were saluting us a small group of Responders from Southern WV. The sun was beginning to come up as we were approaching NYC. The cloud was every bit of what was seen on TV and more. Those two buildings that I remembered gone.

3 We ended up going through a tunnel to get into the city. The further we entered into that tunnel the more the smells began to hit us, the smell of smoke and Jet fuel. The further we pressed into the tunnel, the thicker the smoke became. When we found sunlight again we were brought into what could only be described as a third world country. We were greeted with mass amounts of dust flying everywhere. Military and Police in full battle gear marching through the streets with very large weapons. The buildings and trees, the cars and streets were covered with 4 inches of dust that looked like dirty snow. The windows of the tall buildings covered in so much dust that you couldn t see in. After making a few wrong turns we finally found our way to battalion 7 where we were to report for our tour of duty. Within minutes, I was greeted by civilians. Not as the gruff, standoffish people I had met before, but by Americans asking for directions to the closest red cross station so they could volunteer to help. Other men and women introduced themselves to us, showing us pictures of their loved ones that were lost, begging us for any information we could give. This was far from what I knew NYC to be. We quickly got settled in and tried to rest before being sent in for our tour. We met lots of local EMS personnel who were very interested in the thick accents of the WV EMS responders there to support them in any way we could. We formed quick friendships with these people, and they thanked us for coming out to help. At one point, I remember trying to rest in the back of one of the ambulances and not being able to sleep for the longest time. When I did finally manage to fall asleep... military jets, flying very low, came screeching overhead.

4 Needless to say, I was very much awake again. It was at that moment that I was reminded of the danger we could still be facing, that our life might still be in jeopardy. It was late afternoon on the 12 th, when we were activated for our tour. We boarded a local transit bus. You know the kind. The plastic seats, the smells of many people that had used it. The faces of the local NYFD personnel set in determination, with a look of distance You could imagine they must be thinking about their families, and maybe those of friends, coworkers and loved ones they might have lost. It was as solemn as a funeral procession. Who ever thought a bus full of people could ever be that quiet. Yet we each had a job to do, and that was our focus. They bused us in as far as they could, and then it was up to us to walk the rest of the way in to the command post and await assignment. We passed by reporters trying to get their news footage out to the rest of the world. It was a fascinating thought. Just yesterday, I was watching these same reporters delivering their updates from ground zero from the comfort of my living room and now I was walking past them in the background. We saw NYC Firemen walking down the street with confidence and a unique resolve set in their jaw. I watched others napping in the dirt, worn and exhausted. I ran into a man in a wheelchair, both his legs were amputated. He was pushing his way around the command post offering food from a box he had perched on the legs of his wheelchair. It amazed me. Here was someone that did not recognize his own disability as a means to stand by and do nothing, but cared enough to do whatever he could to support the workers and show that spirit that makes us all proud Americans. And he was not alone. At nearly every street corner, vendors were set up giving out clean

5 socks, food, drinks, and whatever they could think of out to anyone in need. When we received our assignment and reported to building 7 side. Our team was dispatched to set up a medical receiving station and morgue in a corner deli to service the workers, those trapped, and those that had perished. We had a lot of work to do though. The streets were covered in dirt, and the windows of the deli were so filthy, that light could not penetrate through. We pulled equipment off of a nearby destroyed fire truck to clean the building and set up the generator with lights. The moment was one I will never forget. When you touched that NYC fire truck you couldn t help but wonder who had touched that equipment before you. Were they still alive? We were participating in a historic event, and held with reverence everything we touched. Honoring those that had went in to do a job, and never came back out. One of the business owners in the building next to the deli had stayed behind to protect his wares from thieves. He saw a couple of our men trying to rest in the dirt on the street and opened up his shop so they could sleep more comfortably. I stayed awake I couldn t sleep, and in between treating injured workers, we stood and stared at the massive building that was collapsed before us. You could see small pockets of gas catch fire and burn for a little while. We wondered if there was any chance that someone could still be alive under that rubble if we could just lift it off of them There was a UPS truck sitting on the corner. Debris had ripped its top completely open, and the police car on the other corner was only recognizable by its light bar, its tires were blown out. The FDNY Captain assigned to our team told us that he was originally on this side when the second plane came in. He told us that a small section of the

6 plane actually made it all the way through to the side we were on and came crashing down in a ball of flames tearing out a corner of the building next to it. It was torn open like paper. At one point earlier in the night, one of our team members lost his camera. And yet, as we worked at that corner deli we had an interesting visitor. A civilian came up and told us that he had found a camera a few blocks away and was told that they thought it might have belonged to one of our men. Can you believe it! Something that valuable, a needle in the middle of a haystack, returned to its owner as if it were only misplaced in your own house. At dawn we were asked to tear down our operation because the workers were being pulled to another side of the WTC, so we took everything down and went back to battalion 7 at the finish of our tour. As we left for New Jersey and a place to sleep, we were greeted by hundreds of people along the streets of NYC waving banners, yelling, saluting, and thanking us. Our meal was paid for by a girl with the Secret Service who had overheard us discussing our plans to return. It was incredibly humbling, and I was honored to stand next to the bravest people I know and help serve them in their time of need. Emergency Services is a brotherhood, and as the only woman who responded from our region I was greatly honored to be a part of this amazing team. It took me a long time to come to terms with my feelings from those events, but I found my path to peace. I look at the event, not as a tragedy but as a time when Americans really came together from every corner and showed the world that we would not be torn apart, but would stand together, united, helping our fellow man.
