Somebody told me this happened, but I'll wait to see it on the front pages tomorrow:

"Anyway, as I walked away I turned to see two of five protesters drop their signs down and one fold up a large banner which she threw in the trash can.

Then to my shock the other one ran towards me grabbed my shoulder as said to me with tears welling up in her eyes "I'm so sorry for my ignorance. Thanks so much for your sacrifice and tell your husband and his unit that I changed my mind and my prayers are with them all from this day on." I thanked her and went on about my way. I didn't realize that my 2 minute blow-up had such an impact, but I'm glad that it did.

People, Americans, whether you agree with the situation over there or not; you still MUST support our troops at all costs. They need to know we're behind them 100% percent, no matter what.

We need to make it our jobs to defend them here as they defend us there. Help people, like these I met this morning, understand that "Freedom Isn't Free" and most important "It's the Land of the Free, Because of the Brave"

I'd pay big bucks to see that on the front page of the New York Times.
