Message From Mustaine
A message from MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine:
“You all know I believe in God, and if you would please oblige me, I would just like to ask God to look over the families of the lost Firemen who risked their lives to go in and save the trapped victims; to look over the families of the Police that tried to save everyone from any further unknown acts of terrorism while this was all going down, and who lost their lives in the line of duty. These two groups of men and women gave their lives and paid the ultimate sacrifice for us all yesterday. Also to the Mayor, Governor and the City of New York for how they are handling this, you have done an incredible job.
