What a shot.  Did you see it before you took the picture?  Your credentials are impressive.  You're obviously (hopefully) not an obsessed Photoshop magician.

It is now nearly three weeks gone by and I still can't really get my head around the fact that somebody slammed two jets into the World Trade Center towers and made them fall.  I keep going to CNN.com to replay the video once in while to help it sink in.  

I was on Wall Street 6 days prior to the attack.  I even gave the cabbies ten dollar tips, and one of them was a Muslim from Pakistan.  On the flight up, and the return flight, the whether was perfect.  I could see our beautiful land from Tampa all the way up to New York and back.  We flew over Washington, DC.  The Capitol was plainly visible.  This land is my earthly home.  It is a great nation despite its flaws.  It is impossible to not love it.  To attack it is to attack me.

Some of the nicest, most down to earth people I've met are from New York City.  I have said 'I love New York' for a long time.  I said it to Mayor Giuliani when I congratulated him for speaking out against the crap at the art museum.  He bothered to thank me.

Sorry for rambling.  Thanks for that photo.  It is indeed worth a thousand words.  It tells the whole story, really...if people would just listen.

Regards,

Charles Wright
