Yes that was beautiful. And for many veterans I believe we are still close. When I go the the VA hospital there is nothing but soldiers with respect for each other. We did our part. We did not shirk our responsibility to do our best to defend. And there is no color, sex, or age. It always give me the willies.
I believe what was felt and seen during that time was real Patriotism . And it was everywhere. The flag companies were having a field day for profits. Thats when you can tell if it is hidden.
Flags were painted on the streets. Flown from vehicles. Painted on houses no less. Everywhere. It was a grand time.
Its just too bad such a high price had to be paid to get it back. I wonder what it will take next time to get that back?
