A Nation Mourns Its Losses But Pulls Together In Time of Need

It's difficult to try to keep one's mind on the tasks at hand in wake of the recent terrorist activities in New York City and Washington. I think we all need some time to reflect on what has happened and how we can assist those that desperately need our help. I'm sure that most of us feel pretty helpless as we sit and watch the horrific scenes that the news media repeats over and over again on our television screens. Possibly the best way you can help is to contact your local Red Cross office and find out where you can go to donate blood.

As for the terrorists, they are destined to find out that their plans to cripple us with their unspeakably evil and cowardly acts will only backfire in their faces. They should read up on our history as events like this only serve to solidify our nation and resolve. Our prayers go out to the families and friends of the many people who have lost their lives in the past two days. And our thanks to the countless rescue and emergency personnel who are risking their lives to save the victims.
