I just got done watching G.W. give his Naional Address and feel that he did an excellant job. To be able to be as concise as he was after 3 of the most prominent structures in our country have been destroyed. I happen to work at Ingalls Shipbuilding, where we are putting the finishing repairs on DDG 67 USS Cole(another victim of faceless terrorists). There was a sense of shock and disbelief all day, we are not forunate enough to get news of this nature except through the rumor mill. As I left work I slowly saw the signs that this attack was as bad as everyone was saying, full security in our shipyard, armed M.P.s at the Navy Base here, Police everywhere, I hurried home to watch in horror as the video of the second plane exploding in the Trade Center, and then the susequent collapse of both towers all I could do was cry for all those that perished and pray for those that are injured or missing loved ones. My first reaction was to nuke those responsible, but as I quickly realized who is responsible? Until we know we are left with helping those in need. And I urge everyone on this board that is able to go out in the next few days and rool up your sleeve and donate a pint of blood, I gave my pint last Thursday, and I pray that it is on its way to N.Y or D.C. to help save someone's life. I take great pride in the fact that not only do I live here but that I am also responsible for building the best ships the Navy has...Todd
