9/11 Run

[Phx Mike]

Just wanted to say thanks again for the suggestions on the car and express my regret that I could not be out there with everyone this am.

It is not lost on me that today is the 15th anniversary of the cowardly acts of terror perpetrated on our country in 2001. Those who committed those acts took the lives of thousands of innocent citizens and set us on a course of war that would result in the loss of thousands more brave soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines over the next decade. Moreover those who attacked us sought to take away that most American of values - our Freedom. They sought to create an environment where each of us would be a little more afraid and a little less able to enjoy the freedoms paid for by those who died to earn it for us. There are not many places in this world where one can build, own, license and drive a Cobra (if you don't believe that, take a look around the next time you are overseas). This may seem like a small thing and maybe even trite, but I can't think of many things more American than being able to go out and drive a Cobra.

So I am glad that some of us got out there today and I wish I could have joined you.

Mike
