Great movement sweeping U.S.
Published in Opinion
On Nov. 5, I was blessed to stand at our nation's capital in Washington, D.C., with thousands of patriotic Americans of every color, shape and size, from every state. Following the call of Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, concerned citizens managed to come together to answer her call. We prayed. We pledged our allegiance to the flag. We sang our National Anthem, and we cried. It was one of the most emotional events I have witnessed. I thank God for the opportunity to be a part of this great movement.
