"Just when I think the whole world's gone to heck, up pops little glimmers of hope."

Well said.

Prayers and hugs to the family, from a warmed, MN heart, living in CA. Texas sounds like such a wonderful place...first you gave us W, and now, this refreshing look at what America can be!

I'm too damn cynical and old and fat to cry.

Ain't I?

Ahhhh . . . to hell with it!

This is the most inspiring thread I've seen in a long time.

And, yes, even a jackass like me can cry. Damn I'm proud to be an American. Damn I'm proud to be a Texan.

Beautiful, brings tears to your eyes! In our town of 65 thousand, people still pull over or stop when any funeral procession is passing!

Now you've got me crying again. God bless this fine young Texan and the great State that produced him and honored him.

This all came off of Comwatch's Patriot Defenders Web site which is linked on the first page of this thread. Note the date on the link I have here. I am proud to call Comwatch friend. The Patriot Defenders Network organized the "support the troops rally" here in Sac. with over 3500 people attending.

This is an incredible story.... Every soldier over in harm's way deserves a hometown like that.
