XRP,
As usual, you always speak from the heart! Emotions have been high. I started vacation today, but feel like I've been pulled through a knot hole backwards over the events of this past week.
My wife broke down last night about the events of Tuesday. She worked in the finance dept of the company we both work for until about a year and a half ago. See was in daily contact by phone, e-mail, with many different people that worked in the WTC, from many of the companies you have seen on TV. Even meeting many of them when they came to Bentonville for business. Most of the companies were on the 100th floor and above. She called a friend of hers that still works in finance dept to see if there was any news. "No one got out alive as far as we know" is what she was told. The whole dept is devastated. I'm sick, and saddened. :(
To that, I'm headed out the door to throw back a few highballs. I will raise my glass more then once to those brave souls that are searching for survivors. God bless those familys that have lost loved ones. Give them strength.
AMERICA, THE PROUD, THE STRONG, THE BRAVE, THE PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ME!
