I'm with you, except the tears really started rolling at the first words of the song (which is my favorite). The choir (Air Force Singing Sergeants) and the sololist were awesome. I didn't stop crying until 10 minutes after it was over and I'm proud of it.

I first became active in politics when Reagan ran for his first term. I remember how bad things were back then, and how proud I was to be an American after he was elected.

I love America the Beautiful, but that stanza is the most majestic. And to hear it sung as a solo....damn, I'm getting choked up again. Tomorrow...I'm stocking up on kleenex, paper towels, you name it.
