While we were on vacation and attending an extended family BBQ, I listened to one of our relatives speaking and it was like listening to myself. He (a fellow Navy Vet BTW)said, "Call me weird or whatever, but I can't help it. Whenever I hear the National Anthem, the Pledge of Allegiance, or scenes of our Armed Forces in action, it's not unusual for me to wipe the tears of pride from my eyes."
So glad to hear I'm not the only "wierd" one.
Yeah, a lot of us are 'wierd' that way - about the flag, America the Beautiful, My Country Tis of Thee, Star Spangled Banner, our troops in action - their lives on the line for us, Taps.....
I love your sign with the flag.
