Jersey Strong
Seven months ago, New Jersey and New York were devastated by Hurricane Sandy. A whole town was engulfed in flames, houses and boardwalks destroyed, lives lost.
But one thing Jersey doesn't do is sit around and cry and ask others to help us. No, Jersey got up, dusted itself off and began to rebuild. We {and by we I mean others, since I didn't actually help with the rebuilding...I mean my shed is still in pieces in the back yard} cleaned up, tore down, and built back up again. All while in the midst of of the the coldest, longest, winters ever. But we, along with our Governor Christ Christie were determined to rebuild the Jersey shore.
And you know what? We did. No, not completely, but this weekend most of the shore towns are open for business. Unfortunately the weather is totally crappy and cold, so I'm not sure how much business is being done, but still, they're open.
I have always been proud of my state, proud to say I'm from Jersey. But this weekend, I'm even more proud.
We are JERSEY STRONG. And not even a hurricane can tear us down.
