RNC blogging - Day 1, Part 7
Written by: Beck
Heather Wilson of New Mexico is speaking now.
She's telling stories about dead New Mexican soldiers. It's actually quite eloquent, and she seemed choked up for a second. "Jason Cunningham died for a cause worth fighting for," after a reference to the damage to the Pentagon after 9/11.
I think this is the proper way to go about remembering the events of September 11th. "Where does the courage come from? Where do we find men and women like this?" She's reminding people that the people serving in the military have a specific motivation--they're not just there because Bush sent them there. They're there because they believe in their mission.
