I’d like to thank…
The emergency crews who have been working for nearly two days trying to find survivors and salvage bodies, and especially those who sacrificed their lives yesterday running into the buildings despite the danger.
President Bush and the congresspeople who have given us simple, clear messages telling us the things we need to hear.
The investigators working to bring the murderers to justice.
The people standing in hours-long lines at the Red Cross to give blood.
The people who carried jugs of water to the ruins of the WTC and circulated through the crowd carrying water to the injured, the rescue workers, and anyone else who needed it.
The people who filled a city block in my small city (and many others), joining in prayer for the victims and their families.
The journalists who are working around the clock to keep us informed.
