my mother was lost and carol ashley is here and for us the commission report was a bit of an end of the journey and so for the members who are in this room, their journey started in early 2003 but for the 9/11 families, our journey started sooner. i remembered distinctly. it was generally 30th 2002 and i was returning home to boston from washington dc and we had been advocating on behalf of other family members with lawmakers about issues related to the compensation fund and i was reading an article on the flight home and the article said that president bush wanted to only have investigation into the intelligence failures surrounding 9/11 and not anything else and i thought, ours has been average ordinary citizen who got caught up in a terrible tragedy on september 11. i couldn't understand why our government wouldn't want to investigate all that had happened or it simply to make sure that it never happened again. and so we five the 9/11 family members, we thought for many months and we have a lot of noise about that and i think we will all remember our rally in june. we didn't know it
