Oliver Thomas: “The one thing everybody around this nation knows is that people want some closure from this.”

Why would our U.S. Congress not give us the resources we need to protect us?

If there are leaders who believe that certain communities are not viable, say that. Don't let these communities or these people waste their time talking about rebuilding or coming back home. That would be extremely unfair.

Our dead should not be behind rubble and underneath rubble.

If we can't be safe, we can't be anything.
