I started listening to Glenn Beck on the radio

many years ago.

He would keep me company as I dropped Brendell off at

Happy Apple in Saint Marys, Ga.

His views intrigued me and while they were not

all exactly like mine,

he was saying things that no one else on the radio was saying

and he made me think.

When he joined Fox News I started watching him regularly

and while again, some of the things he said

did not exactly line up with what I hold to be true,

I still respected his knowlege of history

and his love for our country.

When we heard of the 8/28 rally
and what it's purpose was,
we thought about going.
When we heard that Sarah Palin was going to speak.
we knew we had to be there!



Living close to Washington DC is bonus in

such a time as this.

We sat with people who had traveled in from

North Carolina, Florida,

Ohio and even New Mexico!

The crowds were thick, but kind.

Excited, yet respectful.

Fired up, but not frenzied.

I was so proud to be there!

Observing the sea of people from all walks of life

who were there for one common purpose was

overwhelming!

The military was honored,

those who had given their lives in this war

and in other wars

were honored

and civilians who were living an example

of Faith, Hope and Love

were honored.

The mood was decidedly uplifiting and encouraging.

No one was bashed.

No political lines were drawn in the sand.

We were a mixed lot of Americans

standing together for the purpose of restoring our country

back to her roots.

To return to the founding principles

of our forefathers

and to turn our hearts back to God.

I don't think I have ever seen

a larger gathering of people

anywhere else!

Based on the land mass covered

there were at least a half a million

people there!

The line just to get metro tickets into Washington

was thousands deep at 7 am when David and I

first attempted to get our tickets

at the New Carrollton station.

We ended up driving in to Suitland, MD

where David works and got right on the

metro station there with no trouble at all.
It was a long and exhausting day

but it was so awesome to be there

and to be a part of an event that

I believe in!
