Subject: SNAME: A message from the President of SNAME

The following emotional but eloquent message was forwarded to SNAME,

sent to one of our members by his son, and is included herein as an

example of the sentiments we all must share:

"Today, I am drained but not emptied; wrecked but not destroyed. The

core of my being has been rattled by a hatred alien in its form and

intensity. Evil truly exists and it busted into my home this morning.

Whoever delivered this blow was successful in hitting their targets,

hurting our hearts and getting our attention. I don't care what you

call yourself, what you do, or where you live, if you value good in

your life then live it loud. Tell these bastards through your daily

living that those of us who stand for peace do not back down from

anyone, do not place our lives in their control, and that we have no

borders, and in that we are far stronger and bigger than their puny

plans.

Today, I was proud to be with my family, friends and co-workers. I

am energized that we have each other. Much love to you all. - Dan"

Phil Kimball, the Headquarters staff and I extend our sympathies and

prayers to the families, friends and associates of the many people

affected by this tragedy. We give thanks to the many thousands who

are working tirelessly to rescue any remaining survivors, and to

begin the process of recovery. They are all true heroes in the

cause of freedom and goodness amongst humanity. It is a time for

us to mourn and to strengthen our resolve to prevail over the

forces of evil, which exist within our world populace.

I ask that you join me in prayer to God to give us the strength to

carry out this mission.

Joseph J. Cuneo, President of SNAME
