ON THE EVE OF 9-11

September 10, 2003

Today is one of the most beautiful days I have ever seen in the 30 some years I have spent in your Nation’s Capital.  I have just returned from lunch at Union Railway Station.  The weather is crisp.  The sky is a beautiful blue with big cumulous clouds.  A breeze is blowing about 15 miles per hour billowing the 3-story-tall American flags that hang in the 60-foot-high archways of Union Station.  Every flag from every building around is blowing straight as if standing at attention to salute those individuals that died on 9-11.  This is truly your Nation’s Capital, you should be proud.
