occasion

Mr. LeCompte, I believe that as each day passes and we learn
more and more, the enormity of the damage caused and of the lives
lost from the Tsunami that the greatest nation in the world will
rise to the occasion (for lack of a better phrase) and once again
come to the aide of the world (as we should).
Don't be too quick to judge
our Commander in Chief. I do believe that he will once again
make us proud to be Americans!
God Bless America and God Bless
Us All....

Editor's Note:
Tsunami Relief Assistance -
Secretary Powell (Dec. 31): "...President Bush has decided
and we announced from the Crawford White House a little while
ago that the United States contribution would now go up to $350
million. .... So this tenfold increase is indicative of American
generosity, but it also is indicative of the need. The need is
great, and not just for immediate relief but for long-term reconstruction,
rehabilitation, family support, economic support that's going
to be needed for these countries to get back up on their feet."
