9/11 I had just returned home from dropping my 2 older kids at school, when my husband called (he was working in the Surgeon General's office at the Pentagon) and said that they were hearing something about a plane in NYC. So I told him what I saw on tv, hung up the phone, and headed out of the room to play with my 4 yr old, when I heard Tom Brokaw say, "Oh God". I knew it was bad and they said it was the Pentagon. My phone rang instantly, it was my husband saying he was okay and instructing me to go pick up our kids, head to the grocery and stock up with food. And batteries!! Then I didn't hear from him again for over 72 hrs.
