Video provided for Obama speech at Joplin Tornado Memorial Service
Unfortunately, this video only has the president's speech and not the excellent speeches given by Gov. Jay Nixon and Rev. Aaron Brown before him. I will keep looking for those:
Just speaking for myself, as someone who lives outside of Joplin but knows many there, that this service was uplifting and did a great deal toward healing my confusion, pain and hurt over this disaster. I hope the people directly affected feel better, themselves, after today, and I think they will. The messages of hope and rebuilding and rebirth were very heart felt. Thanks to all who participated in it and thanks to you, Randy, for making the information available. You do a great service.
