I have no words.
Nothing tops what they said.
God, Bless them and this President. I pray for success in their mission and personal protection in their calling.

Our best and brightest! They have the ability to inspire such pride on the one hand, and such humility on the other.
God bless them every one.
F*#$!&g blurry monitor. I gotta get that checked out.
