I just watched a report on ABC that detailed how the fine folks of Gander and neighboring areas rallied to the assistance of all those diverted to Gander after US airfields were closed on September 11, 2001. At a time when the United States needed all the friends she could have, the words of Art Ford, a striking bus driver who returned to his bus to ferry stranded fliers to rest areas brought tears to my eyes, and the words, "God bless you all!" to my lips. From an ordinary American to all those who have been so kind to my countrymen, and others from around the world in need that day... thank you, Gander, thank you Newfoundland, and God bless you all; God bless all in Canada, our greatest, closest ally and friend!
