#1 It's too bad that this won't lead the evening news.

The Coast Guard and Air Force are working very hard to get the seaport (which is ruined) and airport opened. Next comes the Navy and Marines from the MEU and the Carl Vinson. Next week the Comfort will arrive. In the meantime the AF and Air National Guard will be whipping the airport into shape and getting supplies pushed out into Port-au-Prince.

I'm very proud of our people, and I just wish the media would tell and show their story.
