I'll be returning home today but it's hard for me to think of my home when so many here have none. It's been a humbling experience, but an inspirational one as well. The teachers who sheltered their students by covering them with their own bodies, the teachers who sang louder than the whirling debris above them and thus helped their charges tune out the fear, the volunteers that showed up in a neighborhood to cut down mangled trees, or hundreds that showed up to clean a cemetery or the infamous Orr Farm- an OK City area icon. There were the construction guys that moved vehicles out of our cameras way so we were able to show you the devastation, there were the oil and gas company employees who served the media brisket and pork chops and anyone else that needed a meal, and there was the little Italian woman who stopped to tell me she was a new American citizen and how proud she was to be an American because these people's spirit was unsinkable and she wanted to be part of that!
God Bless America, and God Bless Moore.
