I got a job for the summer, bought a car and before I signed up for classes at UT-Arlington I had an "I'm PROUD to be an American" bumper sticker on it. That was at a time you didn't see much of that. I'm STILL proud to be an American ! ...

God bless you and yours! We had some friends who died in Vietnam and it would have seemed so irreverant to me to protest something that they had given their lives for.
