I AM A SINGLE MOTHER 56 YEARS OLD,MY CHILDREN ARE GROWN. AS I WAS DRIVING TO MY JOB THAT MORNING I HEARD FRIST ON THE RADIO, AND I SAID WHAT KIND OF GAME ARE THEY PLAYING THIS MORNING ON KNFM? DRIVING ABOUT 2 1/2 MILES FROM HOME TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE I WORKED, I REALIZE IT WAS A TRUE. I PRAYED AND ASKED GOD TO BE WITH ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN, THEIR FAMILIES,OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. WHEN I WALKED INTO WORK THE TV WAS ON AMD I SAW ALL THE HEARTACHE
AND TRADGEY. THE TV STAYED ALL DAY AND EVERYONE WAS SADDEN, BUSSINESS WAS SLOW. IN THE EVENING I WENT TO THE CLUB FOR KARAOKE, EVERYONE WAS SADDEN, WHAT REALLY BROUGHT TEARS TO EVERYONE WAS WHEN SOMEONE SANG "GOD BLESS AMERICA", GROWN MEN CRYING,BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF VIETNAM, AND WHEN J.F.KENNDEY DIED ( I WAS A SHOPMORE IN HIGH SCHOOL. MY GRANDCHILDREN ARE 9 AND 13, THIS WILL ALWAYS BE ON THEIR MIND. I LIVE IN ODESSA, TEXAS IN THE GREAT USA.
