You were? What a "nice" thing to do.
I'm just letting you know that you have *my* full support.

Our minister of foreign affairs reports that he fears 1 or 2 dead people
from the Netherlands.
This information is important for people who are missing relatives or
friends. But otherwise I don't see the point in counting the deads by
nationality.

This morning when I drove to work, whole streets were full of Dutch and
American flags, hanging half-mast. At 12:00 (in 2 hours), we will have a
3-minute silence.
