should. mrs. johnson, since the president seems incapable of finding the right words, let me speak for the entire country. we are all sorry for what you are going through. all grief is different, and we cannot imagine how deep and profound yours is. we agree with you that la david, your hoe rehusband, was an awesome soldier, a great man, a great american. we know from what has been written about him that he wanted to be someone great, do great things with his life and he was great, and he did great things. he is a role model to me. when his photos come on the tv screen or i see them in the newspaper, i am so incredibly proud of him and what he accomplished. and to be extremely candid with you and with the world, as a black man i m always looking for role models who look like me and the latest one i found was your husband, la david. may he rest in peace.
