At least SOME folks get it
« on: January 12, 2010, 10:34:39 AM »
Before the Air Force-BYU football game, this was played on the video screens in their stadium.
 

Later, the USAF Academy Superintendent, Lt Gen Gould, showed this clip to the faculty and staff. He told everyone that BYU ran it just minutes before the kickoff at the game. He was clearly moved by it, as were those who watched. Classy, on the part of BYU.
 
You won't see this on the evening news, but it is what makes me proud to be an American.

Thanks sir.  It's good to see a class act when the examples present themselves.

Makes me proud to have a Cougar in the family.

There's a reason National Command Authority doesn't give me the nuclear 'Football' for safekeeping, and it's NOT because I'm not in the chain of command.

BYU GETS IT!!!   :bow:

Thanks Thor for posting this....it's so sad that so many people don't realize that without our wonderful Military...there would be no United States of America.
