Imminent Threat

A girl comes racing through the tents yelling "Put on your vests and helmets!" Adrenaline starts immediately pumping through my veins. Hours went by wearing our gear and wondering what could be happening. Staff in the hospital were even working in their battle rattle.We weren't allowed to leave the area we were in, it was like a ghost town outside. We managed to laugh and joke, but deep down, we were all terrified. Finally word made it to us that we were under imminent missile threat. "What?" I thought to myself. "Why would anyone want to bomb the hospital?" It was weird feeling like a target. There's this invisible sense of safety in our little bubble of the hospital and living area, yet, we are... a target. Apparently there were four missiles pointed directly at us, surrounded by IEDs making it difficult to get to them to disarm them. Well, I'm happy to say that our guys did get to them and we're still here. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers...and Merry Christmas!
