I echo sun's words, Misty. Thank you for this. Today was another overwhelming time for me, as I see just how differently our President is presenting the face of America. It makes me so proud...of him and of my country.

You are all welcome. I was raised around veterans. My late uncle was at the Battle of the Budge in 1944. I pause and reflect during times like this.
As you know tomorrow is D-Day. Obama will give a speech. I'm looking forward to it as well.
