Towards the end of the presentation, Mr. Rutter took questions. One of the last to raise their hand during this time was an Army soldier who served in Iraq. He wanted to let the protestors know that it is their right to protest, thanks to the Military. He got very emotional, brought tears to my eyes.

I would guesstimate that our Armed Forces are burstin' at the seams with guys and gals like that. Gives me renewed pride in our Armed Forces.

That's not to say that pride was runnin' on "LOW", more like the cup over-flowed again. An ever-filling experience.
