Tnank You
I feel the same way.
Each time I hear the Star Spangled Banner, or see a news clip of the towers falling, as I drive and see all the American flags in so many yards, on mast, in windows, on outside walls of houses, flying on cars. I too get a lump in my throat and my eyes swell up in tears.
I saw a yard sign today that read "The Tough just got tougher"

Afghanistan Weather Report
The weather in Afghanistan tomorrow is expected to be sunny in the morning with increasing mushroom clouds in the afternoon. The temperature looks to be a moderate 2,000 degrees with cool winds upwards of around 700 miles per hour.

It will definitely be a day for the sun block, and it wouldn't hurt to shake the dust off the lead suit in the closet. If you're planning on venturing outside in beautiful Afghanistan tomorrow, don't forget to drink plenty of fluids such as barium which shows up nicely when blasts of radiation flow through your body. Most of all, have fun out there in dusty Afghanistan and enjoy the old country while it's still there.

While walking through the local university named for George Mason today, I had similar thoughts, though none so eloquent as yours. I sat on a bench to soak up the view down the concourse of two American flags flying on every light pole. I thought about all the patriots who came before who rose to their challenge given them for their time. We have no choice but to succeed as those who came before us, and those who come long after we are gone.

NCSteve - yours was excellent. He probably understood yours - simple, direct and to the point. I keep forgetting that Dims can't read.
