Good Evening Mr.Williams, A great broadcast this evening and always wonderful to see Richard on the broadcast.

First of all Richard's report from Tel Aviv about the crisis in Syria which never seems to be near an end. The horrific massacre that happened in Houla leaving 34 women killed and 49 children is just awful and as Richard pointed out it even shocked the Middle East people into action. The region is at a "tipping point" and something needs to be done to stop the bloodshed. The rare demonstration in Damascus showed how many in the country feel they are isolated from the rest of the region. The Assad government blaming the violent attacks in Houla on terrorists ,yet a militia backed by the government is claiming responsibilty for all the killings. Many the Syrian Diplomats expelled from Syria including the United States and much of Europe is a telling sign of what is happening in the country. The State Department accussing Iran of helping the militia who caused the attacks. Such an awful situation which doesn't seem to be able to be resolved peaceufully. One does hopes there are no more horrific massacres in any part of the region.

Excellent Reporting as Always Richard!

The report by Mr.Maceda about the earthquake in Northern Italy showed some terrible damage in an area already having endured an previous quake. Hopefully, those living in tents can soon find more stable shelter.

The report by Dr.Nancy Snyderman about height loss in women and how to prevent it was very interesting and showed how with excercising and staying healthy one can strengthen ones body to keep from having the problem of height loss as one gets older. Important to improve muscle tone and flexibilty in ones body. It certainly showed in how the women in the piece are staying strong.

The Medal of Freedom recipients honored by President Obama were quite impressive. All have achieved incredible things in their lives. Very Deserving.

Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Peace to You and to All!

Be Well Everyone!

Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard! Excellent Reporting as Always!

Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

    Great time in DC and wonderful people and so proud of our Military. I wish everyone could have been there.

    Now I am shocked NBC even pays Journalist as the posted birth certificate of Mitt Romney was posted as proof he was born in the USA. Yet not one person saw the record is wrong or just made up. Lenore and George Romney are one year apart in age and Mitt's birth certificate has Lenore age 36 and George 39 when Mitt was born. Either this has been wrong for 65 years or someone who wrote it up for the campaign can't count. On March 12, 1947 George Romney was 39 and Lenore was 39 years old.

      Syria releases 500 "political" prisoners, which is good news. It is a start and hopefully a green light

      for Annan's Peace Plan.
