I just want to say thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.  Many
Americans beleive that it is only the USA that responds to other countries
when they have a disaster.
    For the longest time, America has been immuned to terrorism.  We read
about it and see it on the news from Germany, Ireland, Beirut, Lebanon,
Italy, etc.  When it hits you at home, you feel violated, your world is
forever changed.
    When I was in the military, we used to talk about world events like
this.  One man said that it would never happen to America. We are too
isolated, too strong.  No one in their right mind would ever terrorize
America. I'll agree with him on one point, the people who did this was not
in their right minds, but I wish I could see this person today.  I bet his
false sense of security is shaken.
    Sorry, I'll get off my soap box now.  I did call the NSH today and every
thing is still scheduled for next week.  Maybe a little tainted, but we will
survive.  We will overcome.  We will persevere.  Again, thank all of you for
your thooughts and prayers.
