This past Saturday I had the
distinct honor of meeting Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) as he was returning to
Washington to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner as a guest of Fox
News’ Greta Van Susteren.
As you may know by now,
Congressman Gowdy has been appointed as Chairman of a select committee to
investigate the 2012 Benghazi attacks during which “four of our fellow citizens
were murdered, and a facility emblematic and representative of our country was
attacked and burned on the anniversary of 9-11.”
At first, when I saw him standing
about twenty feet from me I couldn’t believe my eyes. I quickly walked up to him and asked if I might
shake his hand. He immediately reached
out his hand to shake mine.
I told him that America was
counting on him to get to the bottom of this god-awful tragedy. My eyes began to tear up as I uttered those
words.
He looked me dead in the eyes and said, "Yes Ma'am," and
assured me that we are entitled to hear the truth about the attacks and its
aftermath.
I wanted him to know that America
supports him and he promised he would not let us down.
I was so excited about my chance
meeting that I wanted to write a blog post about it, but when I got home I wasn’t
able to access the Internet. All I could
do was post a Tweet.
Thank you @TGowdySC for the privilege of meeting you and shaking your hand yesterday. America is counting on you:

About the four who were left to
die at the brutal hands of Islamic radical terrorists Gowdy said, “They did
what their country asked them to do.
They stood their post under dangerous circumstances even after requests
for security were denied. They stood
their post. The least we can do is stand
this meager post that we have been assigned and demand that this Administration
speak the truth to the people they’re supposed to serve.”
Gowdy’s appointment has struck a
nerve and today reports reveal that Capitol Police are investigating emails that
have been sent to the Congressman threatening him with harm.
