Thanks so much to all who attended the rally today. I felt so fortunate to be there and to speak on behalf of my son. The strength of our rally was the content of the comments and the wonderful group who organized the speakers. I was blessed to find a publisher for our "Letters for Logan" book in my son Derek's honor.

God Bless America!

I came with a ex military friend and my 85 year old mom, who after getting rubbed wrong at after mass on Sunday by the local libs, called to let me know she was definitely coming along to add her voice to the support of our troops. She had to sit a few times but jumped up to cheer G.Gordon Liddy's words of support for the troops. Maybe there were only couple of hundred of us on the Washington Mall but the from speeches, the show of strength, and commitment to our troops, we cheered and yelled for all of those thousands who were back home or in harms way. It is hard to get those who view the status quo as good to come and protest. I would like to say those of you who spoke from your heads and hearts regarding your loss of a loved one, the pride you reflected in your words, and the love you beamed out to us in the crowd, few as it may have been, you made the event worth while.

Thank you so much for speaking at the rally. When I visited your family's website Memorial to Derek some time ago it really brought home what a wonderful person he was. His family and friends will always honor and love him.

God Bless you and your family.
