Dear Lewis,
I hope that you and your family are safe. Please send me a quick message to let me know.

Since you have worked with people in the Pentagon, you may have lost friends and colleagues. Please accept my condolences.

The evil tradition of trying to spread Islam by the fire and the sword lives on. These doomed agents of malevolent darkness blissfully cry, "god is great,” as they suicidally slaughter thousands of innocents. One can only surmise they're idiotically praising the "prince and power of the air" as they descend unaware into the gates of hell.

With a tragedy on such a scale, it is difficult, if not impossible to find words to accurately describe my feelings. These insane attacks are more than ordinary evil acts; they appear demonic.

I don't know how many of my former associates and the guys I used to ride the trains back and forth to Wall Street have been killed or wounded. I may never know. One day I may ask how old X is doing, and find out that he was in one the towers, or on the street below having a morning coffee and bagel from a street vendor when the "napalm" engulfed him.

May God bless and keep you and your family safe from all harm

A.J.
