OT Re: America The Beautiful

First of all, I would like to say that as Canadians, everyone I have spoken
to is horrified about yesterdays terrorism acts.  Many Canadians are praying
for the victims and their families.

I don't know the person (Canadian) being quoted here as I live on the West
Coast, but I can tell you that many Canadians fly down to the US when
disasters strike, such as the tornados last year, and the OK bombing.
Search and Rescue persons, human/dog teams and other emergency personnel.  3
military planes left this morning from the West Coast, carrying people going
to give aid.  I'm sure there are other persons heading south from our East
Coast.  Canada is asking for blood in case the US needs more than they have.
Just wanted to set the record straight.  Canada is the little cousing, but
we always stand tall behind our much larger cousin the US of A.

My heart goes out to all Americans, especially those directly affected by
these terrible acts.
sincerely,
