.."Thats just ...OUTSTANDING!!!"
A few weeks before 9-11, I bought a Pearl Harbor Issue by Time-Life off the newsstand.
In the forward by Hugh Sidey (sp?), he told how a reporter from the Christian
Science Monitor joined a large crowd of shocked and depressed citizens on the
lawn of the White House on Dec. 8, 1941.
In the midst of the collective low spirits, the crowd slowly and surely all started
singing "God Bless America".
The reporter said that at the moment he knew everything was going to be OK.
(Can't tell you how many times I thought of that in the days following 9-11. Esepcially with
the Senate singing the song en masse.)
