Exhaling...

I feel like I've held my breath since September 11.


And while I didn't completely exhale when I heard the news, I did breathe. There aren't many days when I don't hear Mark Bingham's mom's voice in my head, and I never walk down a jetway without thinking about Barbara Olson and Todd Beamer. And I've waited, and waited, and waited with all of you for some human justice. Just something to show for all that breath holding.

It's not enough, but it's something. And those Seals have my complete gratitude and awe. God bless those people that care enough about us to do unimaginably brave and daring things.

So how about a ship for those brave Navy souls?
