A Tribute To The Heroes of Sept. 11th: Those who lost their lives and those who are alive today. A special dedication to everyone on the USS Constellation ~ you touched my heart and I hope to share with you some of those memories...

   Each of us has turning points in our life that bring our heart back to reality. Moments that encompass nearly every emotion all at once, and simply overwhelm us. September eleventh was one of those turning points for all of us-as individuals, and as a country. There is no way to translate onto paper the grief, fear, compassion, or love that marked that day. It has taken some time for me to compose my thoughts enough to address the events of September eleventh here on the WebSite, but my support and love have been here regardless. My heart and prayers go out to everyone affected by this tragedy.

   In light of the war we are now in, I would like to send my special thoughts and prayers to all of the men and women who are out there fighting for us. Thank you for standing behind our country with pride-you make me proud to be an American. As a tribute to all of you, here are some photos from a recent trip I took. I volunteered to go to Bahrain, in the Middle East, to support our troops, on a tour for the USO. Along with Melissa Joan Hart ("Sabrina the Teen Witch"), Ron Lester ("Popular" on the WB, and the film "Varsity Blues"), and Bill Brochtrup ("NYPD Blue").

   I was able to spend time on the base in Bahrain, and on many of the ships currently in and around the Middle East. I cannot tell you how wonderful this experience was for all of us. It is a trip we will never forget. It was, of course, emotional and unsettling at times, but the generosity and graciousness of our troops was outstanding. One exciting highlight of our trip was the opportunity to fly out to an aircraft carrier off the coast of Dubai. I have included several photos from that part of the trip where we signed autographs, took photos, and spent the day with some of the men and women who deserve our unending support.

I hope these photos help you to not only enjoy my trip with me, but to share in my pride for our country...
