I didn't tear up until you asked Reaver if he was a commie, then I laughed so hard I fell off my chair and cried a little...
Love ya too, Reaver!
Really though, that was a great clip and a beautiful sentiment. I can see the emotional response folks did and do have now to America, our lady liberty, ellis island, etc... but it's probably more relevant in our times to tear up over the twin towers. It's great that you have a such strong connection to your ancestors and country that you feel that way, there's nothing emasculating about that. In fact, that will get you women, lots and lots of women!
Great clip Grudgie, pay no mind to us fools!
