I figured FReepers would want to know how to show their sympathy to the families of those lost back here at home, searching to pieces of the lost space shuttle Columbia.

Thanks and bump.

The USFS sent my brother to TX to help with the search, so I was nervous when I first heard of the mishap. It wasn't him, though.

Glad for you and him that it wasn't too. Prayers for the pilots family.
