*Before we begin, I'd like to remind you all of the tragedy that befell the small island nation of Haiti just a year ago. A year ago a 7.0 earthquake demolished Haiti's capital and surrounding towns, leaving as many as 300,000 dead and 800,000 homeless. As an American of Haitian descent, today I remember and continue to support the rebuild process of Haiti, her government and her people.
