WE in America are grateful for the support your country has shown us in these hard times. Disasters such as the ones in New York and Washington are extremely difficult to deal with, and I am continually amazed at the generosity and kindness that has come from our friends across the ocean.

Whether war lies ahead or not, we will all overcome this tragedy and become stronger in the process. While the world is watching our country, we are watching you too. Thank you so much.
