I’m with everyone else in wishing you well! You would NOT believe how many of us here in the lowly Texas Panhandle were absolutely SICKENED as we watched on TV that awful morning! Many of us never had much good to say about New Yorkers until we saw what a brave lot you all are! And those firemen…unbelievable! A contingent of Amarillo firemen went to NYC to help out, too.

One example (of many!) of someone desperate to do SOMETHING to show his support: A kid (no more than 18 or 19) somehow affixed a HUGE American flag to stand in the back of his black pickup truck…he literally drove all over Amarillo with that flag blowing straight back (going as fast as he dared!) from daylight until dark for days afterward! He was interviewed by the TV stations and when asked, all he would say is, “We want those Yankees to know we’re supporting them 150%!” This may or may not have been appreciated by “those Yankees”, but we here understood what he was saying!
