in fact, the cover of that book could easily have been my mom and dad. there's a soldier's trousers and a beautiful woman's legs, and that was my mom. and i've looked back carefully at not only what was in his book, but at that generation as it influenced me as a young person growing up, and that is the message i've got for you. that's the message of this great museum. the message is the legacy that had been left for the next generation. that's why this museum is such an important part of who we are as a people in america. and that's why that legacy that was handed off to my brothers and me influenced all of us, every one of us served in the military. not because we're more patriotic than the next door neighbor, but it was part of who we are, it was part of who my parents were. every one of my uncles served in world war ii. the media today is full of stories about how desperate the situation is in afghanistan. i mean, i brought with me four or five different newspapers all of which have a story either on page one or on -- about how bad things are in afgh

so when i saw the first edition, i felt okay, dad, i did what i told you i was going to do. now if we happen to sell some books, that's the frosting on the cake. but on the other hand, believing, that was the issue. some of you may have read a major article in "the new york times" last saturday. jim and i were both very pleased and surprised at the length and scope of the article. this morning i received an e-mail from my son who is in the financial world in new york. and he sent me portions of an investment advisory service letter from one of the big advisory firms in new york. and i'm going to read the last paragraph, because i think that it's very interesting. we highly, very highly recommended that you take the time to read the only article on the weekend worth reading, which was the view from inside a depression. on page b1 of the saturday "new york times." having read the excerpt of benjamin ross diary of the roller coaster ride that came to define the economy and the financial markets during the 1930s. and then he goes on to say, compared to what's going on today. in
