I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf.
Some will remember an image of a fire or story or rescue. Some will carry memories of a face and a voice gone forever. And I will carry this. It is the police shield of a man named George Howard who died at the World Trade Center trying to save others. It was given to me by his mom, Arlene, as a proud memorial to her son. It is my reminder of lives that ended and a task that does not end.
What people can't possibly imagine is what it's like to have two presidents who have a relationship as father and son.
