A much too simple thank you
President Bush gave a speech today in which he thanked the people of the Maritime Provinces of Canada for the hospitality they showed to the thousands of stranded airline passengers after the September 11th attacks. For those of us with family in Newfoundland that kind of hospitality is no shocker, but it did deserve a long overdue thank you.Many of the folks in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia invited Americans into their homes and communities during those terribly dark days. They may never admit to this, but it is a truth that we who know what they did have understood since those events unfolded: The American people owe you a debt of gratitude which we will never be able to repay.
