Uniquely American (A Tribute To Our Troops and Fallen Heroes)

Today's column is for those of us who grew up, unlike Michelle Obama, proud of being American. Some of us have stood at the gentle slopes overlooking Arlington National Cemetery and smelled the freshly cut lawn of summer, felt the blustery wind chill of autumn, and the quiet white of winter's blanket; each season nourishing the stone soldiers. No other place on Earth will make you as proud to be an American patriot. Listen carefully in quiet solitude and you can hear the ping and clack of spent brass ammunition falling on metal and wood. You can hear in the distance of your mind the sound of cannon and rocket fire from Berlin to Mosul, Guadal Canal to Khe Sahn. You can hear the faint sound from a Japanese battle trumpet, or the heel clicks of a platoon of Nazi storm troopers...
