Due to 9-11 I realized that my youngest brother wasn't just a kid anymore. When the NJ Carpenters Union was called in to help he jumped at the opportunity/obligation. He commanded someone else to speak for him, because he had lost his voice earlier in the day. With his newly implemented voice he created and managed 5 bucket lines. He was a project supervisor, so he was accustomed to telling 50-100 union workers what to do. 300 volunteers who had no clue might have been a challenge.
At any rate, I am very proud of him!
My other brother also jumped to the rescue. Although he is also a union carpenter foreman who builds high-rise buildings, he has been on bridge building crews and had access to cutting torches. He grabbed some torches, but couldn't get in because there was a security issue regarding safes.
I helped bring chiropractors to the site for the rescue workers.
I am very proud of my family, and if the SHTF I want them around.
