Dingo, my mother and father used to talk about Pearl Harbor, where they were when they heard etc.

I never related to that until 9-11.

My mother prayed for peace as she knew she could lose all that she loved in the war, but worked making airplanes and later in the brand new Pentagon while her man was in the Army. It took a long time, but finally after incredible human effort by millions of people and much loss, peace came.

Once again we have to earn the peace. I believe we will do so.

If you haven't already done so, please read 'John Adams' by David McCullough. Now is the time we all should remember how our country was born. It was much more difficult than we were taught in school.

Fifty years from now, what do you believe will be written about us?
