Rocky,
You SHOULD be proud!!!
To quote historian Stephen Ambrose's description of our WWII citizen soldiers:
"They were the sons of democracy and they saved democracy. We owe them a debt that we can never repay."
That says it all, doesn't it?
M1,
Mr Durbin sure was an amazing guy. Just shows what one single person can put into motion with courage & determination. So many of us (and I include myself in this) too often say: "I'm only one person, what can I do?" Thankfully, Mr. Durbin didn't have that attitude!
