Today, I was singing the song "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Ole Oak Tree' to my children and explaining the meaning of the yellow ribbons.

Can you believe that at the part where the singer and the busload of excited riders see 100 ribbons tied 'round that tree, even the kids all got weepy eyes.

Can't wait to be there! The rallies have been truly inspirational & so very welcome in the midst of the disinformation campaigns, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism & general ugliness so rampant in the North Bay.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart for all you & the others involved are doing. Please know how appreciative all of us here in Sonoma are.
G-d bless you.
