Wife and I had the same reactions,SC.
Loved seeing Trump salute the Air Force personnel.
23 hours and 18 minutes, he will be their CinC.
We are a military family (all branches) from way back and most of us, especially my sister and I, are very patriotic and love our military. My dad was a lifer in the AF, so I have a special place in my heart for them.
I remember when GW was inaugurated, someone told him one of the first things he needed to learn was how to salute properly (given his background, I figured he probably knew that). I suspect someone also told Trump that as I just got a quick look at his salute today, but it looked pretty good from an AF brat that had previously been around military for a very long time.
Not too long and it will only be 24 hours to go - WOO HOO!!
