Introduction Throughout the semester, I have been able to volunteer for the American Red Cross Disaster Services Team. This has been one of the most beneficial volunteer opportunities that I have ever accomplished. As an American Red Cross of Georgia Major Gift Officer, this volunteer experience allowed me to gain knowledge in a department that serves as the backbone of the American Red Cross.

9/11 was one of the darkness days in this country’s history and was absolutely a disaster. The death toll of 9/11 did not just stop with that day but followed into the months and years after. The original death toll of 9/11 was 3000 and hundreds of thousands died in the two wars that followed, in the first 18 months 100,000 Iraqis died, even more US troops did as well I’m sure.
