While you cannot start the conversation by texting 911 first, we can send you a message or a request for video chat after a 911 call is received. You would not be able to hear or see the dispatchers in the video chat, but we can hear and see you.

Carol Perkins: Serving Our Country Previous Column: Change Please By Carol Perkins Guy joined the Navy straight out of high school. He was seventeen, so his parents had to sign for him. We had been dating our senior year but had no plans except I was going to Eastern. There was no immediate threat, so I thought, even though Vietnam was on the horizon. I didn't know he was once at sea with 33 U.S. Navy vessels in search of a lost hydrogen bomb. Guy was stationed in Norfolk on an LSD. He spent Christmas in Italy and saw much of Europe. During the four years that he was serving in a steamy engine room, we wrote sappy "How are you, I am fine" letters. When he was discharged, we married on New Year's Eve of 1967.
