I am so glad I am not the only one tearing up at all the Reagan tributes. I was watching C-span today and doing pretty well until the young Marine came in with two arms amputated, one above the elbow and the other just above the wrist. He stood and saluted with the amputated arm and I just lost it. He was all of 20 years old. Anyone else see that?

I missed it, but heard about it here. That was enough....had I seen it, I'd be in bed in a fetal position for the rest of the day.

I don't know who the young Marine was, but he embodies our servicemen and women.
