For America has been reminded that Britain is the best friend it has in the world, joined by blood, language, history, instinct and culture.

On September 11, 2001, I sat in shock, watching the events unfold. No tears, no anger, just shock. I didn't snap out of it until many sleepless hours later. When the news showed the Brits playing 'The Star Spangled Banner' at the Changing of the Guard, the dam burst. I wept uncontrollably. It is a moment that is seared into my brain forever. Just thinking of it, even today, brings me to tears.

God Save the Queen, indeed.

I am back in the US now after working for 2 years in Germany. I can assure you that the best friends of American expats working abroad, in Germany or elsewhere, are our fellow British expats. We Americans shared many a good time with our British friends at pub quizzes and other social activities in Munich.

That was one of the greatest gestures of friendship I've ever witnessed. What a moment it was! And the British government hasn't let up one bit since.

' And like you, my tears were flowing that day.
