“Again, I want to thank Mr. Moran for his statements. There was one scene that I am sure most Americans saw on TV. Right after the storm and the tornado, and people were looking through their belongings, there was one lady who said, ``You know, if I could just find my wedding ring, if I could just find my wedding ring.'' Her house was totally demolished. Apparently she had said that early in the day. Then later in the day, they showed her again, saying, ``You won't believe this. I found my wedding ring.'' For some reason, that was a very telling statement on her part, because what she was basically saying is that while the buildings may fall, while so much may seem so dim, the fact is that I still have family. I want that wedding ring, that band, that symbol of unity, that symbol of togetherness, that symbol of generations yet unborn, and those who have come before me; that's what I am looking for. Just as she found her wedding ring, I know the citizens of Greensburg will make it. Just as Mr. Moran said, they will rebuild.”
