Just the sadness of, we're there, but don't want to have those people in harm's way, and yet we do have to support (the troops). It's kind of painful, and I had always imagined just seeing footage of the troops, it's like history repeating itself ? here we are again. That was the meaning to me.

The threats to the Bay Area are well known and we must act urgently to avoid repeating this tragedy.
