    Galveston The Daily News ^ | December 29, 2008 | From staff reports
    County residents next week will have a chance to air concerns to state lawmakers and area leaders about Hurricane Ike recovery efforts.

The storm was the third most destructive to ever make landfall in the United States. The committee has...

    The link I provided is to a Spanish newspaper. I put it there in case some of you speaks Spanish. The article, after making fools of the Hollyweirds, specially Cameron Diaz, talks about Pat Tilman. It was the first time I heard that name. Maybe you know about him. He played in the Arizona Cardinals football team for $4 millions a year. In October 2001, one month after the attacks, he enlisted in the Rangers for $20,000 a year. He died last summer in Afganistan. The American Football League honored him in the Veterans Day. I was impressed about this...
