This evening, I went made a donation to the Red Cross, and since we were there around 7pm, my friends and I brought our candles with us. There were around 15-20 of us who had candles.
I just want to say that tonight, I saw such goodness and hope, that I take comfort in knowing that America has come together as a united voice. What has been most inspiring is seeing young people- teenagers, out on street corners with their candles singing the Star Spangled Banner. There was one group of around 11-12 young ladies. And then, we saw one, lone teenage boy on a corner by himself- proudly waiving the flag and holding a candle. My heart just fills with pride knowing that the youth of this country have rallied around the flag and have learned a lesson about patriotism that I was convinced they'd never learn. Even small children were out with candles and flags- children as a young as 3 years old who truly knew the meaning behind what they were doing. Young and old, and those of use in between have all united as one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
America's future has never been so bright.

America's future has never been so bright.I completely agree with you, rintense!
As I drove around today, I was completely overwhelmed by the patriotism I saw and felt.........flags everywhere- on homes, trucks, in windows, in the town square; red, white and blue ribbons, patriotic clothing, shirts, jackets, ties.......it was so moving I wept most of the day.
The President was magnificent and moving, and I thought as I heard the responses to his strength, the American public is finally seeing what we here on this thread have seen from the beginning in this man; his dignity, strength, warmth, humility, resolve, and patriotism. For us there are no surprises here. He is doing and saying what we knew he would. He is being the leader that God has given him the ability, strength and willingness to be.
Our nation is blessed.
