by Cdr David Bates Usphs (Author)

My Honor to Serve: 9-11-01 World Trade Center Disaster is about an eyewitness emergency responder with official orders to serve as the chief pharmacist of all pharmaceutical operations and logistics during his tour of duty for this disaster. It mainly covers his daily duties from September 19, 2001, through September 29, 2001. It covers the challenges, adversities, contracts, responsibilities to the different disaster medical assistance teams, including the veterinary medical assistance teams, and his help in bringing the best pharmaceutical care to the thousands of patients seen during this time period. The chapter on his personal response and impact is quite stunning and moving as he shares how the different situations affected him physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It helps to see what all the national emergency responders and volunteers experience during times of disasters.
