From these shores...

The estimated death toll of the earthquake generated tsunami in the Indian Ocean stands now at about 150,000 souls. The hearts and pocket books of the American people have opened to the less fortunate members of our human family affected by this catastrophe. Say what you will about this nation. We have our problems and our faults to be sure…but this people also has true nobility in their veins. This is a nation with a huge heart. It is in moments like this that our light truly shines on the world. It is in moments like this I have hope for humanity. I am proud to be a member of the most generous nation in the history of the world…I am proud to be an American.
