We asked those who responded to 9/11 to share their memories and stories from those days, when one of the worst days for our nation brought out the best of its people. |
Stephanie Millian – Promoting Blood Donations – and then Needing Lifesaving Blood Recovery was long and challenging; I spent three months relearning how to walk, one step at a time.

Retirement Income: With Annuities, Protections Shift from Federal to State Agencies By Dave Therkelsen, re: changes to Red Cross pension management Beneficiaries of virtually all private sector pensions and annuities are protected from failure by either federal or state mechanisms.

"I joined ARCAN to keep in touch with the people, but also with the Red Cross mission. I tell my friends who are former Red Cross colleagues that the Red Cross has an amazing work force, and experts in a lot of different things. I recommend that people work continually to maintain their professional network, which I like to think of as my work community. Ask for help from others but offer it back if you can.”
