It has taken me almost the entire day to
\nfind the words to write this column and I still cannot even begin
\nto put into words the emotions that are screaming through my body.
\nI have cried, I have been angry, I have been numb with
\ndevastation. This will only be a few words. My
\nemotions will be many more.<\/p>\n
For the past 8 months we’ve all mourned and
\nlamented the loss of Dale in a NASCAR race. Even though
\nthat still hurts a little, today makes us realize just how
\ninsignificant that event really was. What is the life of
\none NASCAR driver, no matter how great, when it is obvious the
\nloss from this attack will number in the thousands?<\/p>\n
I was watching Squawk Box on MSNBC this
\nmorning when they cut away to show the hole from the first hit
\nand saw the second crash live. I immediately knew what was
\ngoing on and got on the phone to my parent’s cell phone, who are
\nvacationing in the northeast, on the off chance that they were in
\nthe NY area. I never got ahold of them but, left voice
\nmails asking them to call me. Later this afternoon they
\nwere able to get a call out and talked to my sister here in
\nVegas, just to let us know that they are up in New Hampshire and
\nquite safe. I never want to have to go through something
\nlike this again.<\/p>\n
I am quite confident that President Bush
\nand all our leaders will calmly and coolly investigate the attack
\nand will then make a decision as to what action to take.
\nAnd as the members of Congress said while standing on the steps
\nof the Capitol tonight, "we stand shoulder to shoulder
\nunited behind our president." I stand with them.
\nAnything short of a nuclear bomb will have my full and total
\nsupport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
