I am so sorry for what happened to you and your fellow crew members. And the family members who traveled so far for nothing.<BR/><BR/>I hope things work out for you and yours.<BR/><BR/>As a red blooded American I will never ever forgive China for this. Talk about tin-eared when it comes to public relations. First China gave us all the lead toys, then the poisoned food, and the poisoned pet food,then the child's bead set that turn into date-rape drugs and now this. <BR/><BR/>How do we know how they will treat tourists during the Olympics next year. Maybe you can see the event, maybe you can't, maybe you have a hotel room, maybe you don't. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, it is Thanksgiving. And my family is grateful for you and your crew members service to our country and for being away from home and loved ones to do so. . Our military keeps us safe and free. <BR/><BR/>And we are grateful. My mother was a little girl in Germany when Patton's army came over the Alps to save them. She raised me to really understand the freedom the American military brings to the world. <BR/><BR/>When she was financially able to buy any car she wanted she picked a white Jeep. I thought it was a weird choice for a lady of her age. <BR/><BR/>Then she told me why. It reminded her of Patton's Jeep. It was a symbol of her love of America and freedom. <BR/><BR/>Take care. Happy Thanksgiving!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
