I lost it (Tears flowing) when our President (GWB)introduced the parents of the Marine killed and what the young man told his parents when he enlisted.
"You protected me when I was young and now it's time for me to protect you"
""You protected me when I was young and now it's time for me to protect you" - - that really got to me, and I'd started crying when President Bush introduced Sofia. Then, when the mother and Sofia hugged - major waterfall!
Poor mom....it was all she could do not to burst out sobbing. But she must be very proud of her heroic son!
