SUBJ/HURRICANE ISABEL//
 
RMKS/1. HURRICANE ISABEL LEFT A TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION IN HER WAKE.
HOWEVER, THANKS TO THE HARD WORK OF THOUSANDS OF SAILORS AND MARINES
ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD, WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE MANY OF OUR SHIPS,
BOATS AND PLANES TO SAFETY AHEAD OF THE STORM.
 
2. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO LEAVE YOUR LOVED ONES BEHIND, AND THEY SHOWED
EXTRAORDINARY COURAGE IN WEATHERING THE STORM.  WE APPRECIATE YOUR
DEDICATION TO OUR NATION, AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE STRENGTH AND
SERVICE OF YOUR LOVED ONES.
 
3. FROM JACKSONVILLE, NC TO ANNAPOLIS, MD, WE HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF
DAMAGE TO REPAIR.  SO AS YOU CONTINUE TO WORK WITH LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND EMERGENCY AGENCIES TO REPAIR YOUR WORKPLACES, HOMES
AND COMMUNITIES, I URGE YOU TO CONTINUE TO BE SAFE AS WE WORK TOWARD
A FULL RECOVERY.
 
4. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES, AND MAY GOD CONTINUE TO
BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.//
