5. Joe gives me hope that we will heal from this experience and do better next time.

I can't tell you how much this man and his wife give me comfort and peace every day...

6. I remember when Obama went there early in his presidency

He stood next to other military men and in unison slowly raised his arm and saluted.

That was the first time that I observed this form of salute.

(Whinny Donny never went there, did he?)
