  So was Capt. Scott Meyers of St. Johns.But he said he had no inkling at the time just how much the terrorist attack would alter his life.
  
  Meyers, a full-time member of the 1st Battalion of the 182nd Field Artillery Regiment, is just returning to work after rehabilitating from injuries received in Iraq.He suffered a shattered elbow, a broken arm and facial burns when a car bomb explosion blew in the side of a vehicle in which he was patrolling the streets of Baghdad.
  
  Both Casanova and Meyers say the experience has changed them.
  ...
  In some ways, Meyers said, nearly a year of hospitalization and rehabilitation may have eased his transition back to civilian life.
  
  While at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., he said, he had the benefit of working with counselors and chaplains and receiving visits from his wife and 4-year-old daughter before returning home.
  
  "I thought my daughter might be afraid when she saw my burns," he said, "but she came right up to me and gave me a hug.She adjusted very well."
  
  Some returning service members, however, find their children rather shy around them and fearful their parent might leave them again, Meyers said.
  ...
  Meyers said he is still jumpy at times, especially with unexpected loud noises, and finds himself scanning roadsides and highway overpasses for possible hiding places for improvised explosive devices.
  
  "It'll probably take a good six months to get past that," he said.

  The blast shattered the St. Johns man's elbow and broke his arm in two places.He also suffered burns to his face and massive bruising along the length of his right side.
  ...
  Scott, meanwhile, was being flown from Baghdad to a U.S. base in Germany where he underwent a second operation.He was then flown to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., where doctors reconstructed his elbow.
  
  He's currently undergoing physical therapy at Walter Reed to regain full use of his arm.

  The unit also helps a Baghdad-area orphanage that was founded by Mother Teresa and needs supplies, such as baby wipes and hand sanitizers.
  
  Military wives such as Day, who has three children, and Meyers, who has a 3-year-old daughter, also need supplies, such as diapers and wipes.

  The idea of providing convoy and base security in Iraq is not as scary to Capt. Scott Meyers as the thought of having to write a letter.
  
  Meyers, of St. Johns, is commanding 152 soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 182nd Field Artillery who will leave Wednesday for training at Fort Dix, N.J., before going to Iraq.
  
  "My biggest fear is having to write a letter home to the family of a soldier who has been injured or killed," he said.

  "When that happened, the reality of our soldiers' situation hit home," Meyers said.
  
  Her husband's unit is in the Baghdad area handling similar security duties.

  "I want to be aware of what's going on but not immerse myself in it.That makes it harder," she said.
