Thanks Pat2010. A good cry is always a refreshing way to start my morning.

We had a private send off last week for one of our military friends stationed at Fort Bragg. I went shopping with his wife Saturday and played golf with her on Sunday to help keep her occupied while her husband is away.

She is one of the most pro-Americans I know. She knows more about world history and current world events than most people I know. She's a true American patriot.

Funny thing is, she was born in Russia and became an American citizen on her own before she married a soldier. It was her father's dream that she fulfilled. He wanted his children to come to America and live under our republic. She loves this country and has more pride in the US Constitution than most liberals I know who were born under our flag.
