Truest statement of the week II

Jan. 28 was an amazing day not just for St. Louis but for all of America because it showed what we can do, together, when we unite around the pillars that hold up this greatest of nations. We used our free speech, our freedom of assembly, our collective sense of can-do and good-old American ingenuity and capitalism to create one symbolic day when we were not falsely divvied up by political preferences but genuinely united in our awe of so much American sacrifice and our determination to actively participate in this time of mass transition from soldier to citizen.
