San Bernardino, my home town

[Americanperegrino]

San Bernardino is my hometown. I grew up there, started my career there, started my family there and happened to be shopping there when evil came calling. As with each act of evil, there are acts of love. I will be walking with Shannon this May.

I am so sorry for the loss you are feeling. I went to school in Redlands and spent time in San Bernardino, and remember the area with great fondness. Since I now live in Roanoke, site of a recent on-air shooting, and near Virginia Tech, I know how such a tragedy can feel very personal. May your community grieve in harmony with one another.

Please light a candle for those lost from all countries.

I was born at St. Bernardine's and grew up in San Bernardino also. I am so saddened by the recent events. Thank you, americanperegrino for acknowledging our sorrow.

Gee, wouldn't be great to go back to time when Route 66 made San Bernardino is last stop before LA. Agree with Keith, one small candle from me please!

That we could all be as brave and selfless as Shannon.

I too am from the area and it was a sick feeling that this act took place in my back yard.
I know people that work in the buildings next door & across the street and i was so scared for them and all of their colleagues.
I came home in November from finishing the camino. Have a safe journey and enjoy. Buen Camino!

I said it earlier but I say it again, you are all in my thoughts. I don't have words to express the horror of it all.
