Mark,
Do you know if the effort by Americans and others to support Denmark have had any effect?
I've been very busy the last few months since my husband has been quite ill.
Right now I have limited access to the internet. I'll check back when I can.
Heather:
I am sorry to learn that your husband has been ill. I do hope he is on the mend now. My best wishes to him for a speedy recovery.
In answer to your question, I have no idea whether the efforts have borne fruit. Perhaps someone else can tell us.
A price well worth paying.
