For the last 24 hours I've been in shock. To think our country could undergo the tragedy we've seen is unreal to me still. It makes the things that seemed so important just a few days ago seem trivial now.
This is a time for us all to come together. America is at war and "our" DJ as well as some of our sons and daughters are on the front lines. They need our support. We're all hurting right now, but some of our members need our support badly.
The next few days will be hard on those in NY and in DC. We don't know how many of our members have lost loved ones and how many are still missing. Let's put our efforts into helping those who need it and not worry about our little petty squabbles right now. We can get back to them later. Right now we just need to come together and help each other get through this tragedy.
Another thing you might think about doing. Last night I called and e-mailed a lot of people just to tell them "I love you." After yesterday, you don't know when you might not get another chance.
BTW I love you all. BD
