DancesforLove Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 Jennie that is so sweet and touching. Alot of my family is military and my parents are both retired Marine Corp Vets. We had a very big scare when 9-11 happened. My Uncle was stationed in Bahrain with my Aunt and 2 cousins. They were scheduled to leave the day after 9-11 happened. As soon as the towers were hit they were suddenly in even more danger than before. They couldn't leave their house at all, my cousins and aunt had to be stuck in some type of underground facility. Because when towers were hit there was suddenly an uproar of bombings, murders, all sorts of terorist activity. My grandmother and my family were distraught because my Aunt was allowed to call home. As soon as we heard from her the whole family was on the phone. She was only allowed to tell us that she was told to pack everything and be ready to leave at a moments notice and they wouldn't say where she was going or anything. Then we lost contact for about a month or so, we were all so scared of what happened to them because the only news we heard was about the mass suicide bombings and stuff. We were all SOOO happy when we found out they have removed them from Bahrain and that they were safe.
StColette Posted August 5, 2004 Author Posted August 5, 2004 Chels that's wonderful that they are okay !! Sometimes people get too rapped up into the entire political side of the war and they often times forget the strain it puts families through. But that's why God gave me a voice, it may be tiny but it tends to never be quiet
DancesforLove Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 lol yes Jen mine is never quiet either but you know that. Yes I was VERY happy they are ok. See they were stationed in Bahrain about a month after there wedding (when I was 5) so I have only met my Uncle at the wedding! they are now in Hawaii so I still haven't and I have a cousin I haven't met either lol.
