I needed to see that. Thank you Tom for sharing that with us. :)

This is what it means to be an American. This is what it really means to be the best of us. Not wealth, nor social standing, nor political connections, nor bloodline.

The simple concept of reaching out and bringing us together, not out of expediency or pragmatism; but out of simple kindness and the desire to leave the world a better place than it was when we were born.

God bless Charles and all those like him.

Thank you, Thomas, for sharing this. And may a just and merciful God grant that Mr. Alexander gets to see Obama sworn in as President a couple of months from now. (Hell, if Obama has the sense God promised a chipmunk, he'll invite Charles to be on the podium at the inauguration!)

very moving.
it's nice to hear someone talk about how much they love their candidate (as opposed to talking abou how much they hate the other one, which voters on both sides are guilty of).
a treat!

Yes, it did. And yes, it was. Thank you for sharing this. Re-posting to my journal.
