That was a wonderful speech. Truly it restores some of my faith in this country, which has been so eroded as of late. Thank you for everything you have done for our country Mr. Spooner.

What a remarkable man, what a remarkable American, what a remarkable father, what a remarkable speech. Thank you, Mr. Spooner. Not only for serving our country so valiantly, courageously and generously, but for standing up for fairness and equality once again. You are the sort of American that makes this nation great.

What a beautiful speech. If we can't listen to the voices of those who would give their lives for us, then we are truly lost.
Equal rights for all.

Thank you so much. I'm a lonely gay 18 year old man trying to pay for college because my parents don't accept me the way I am. Thank you for giving me hope. You're a beautiful person. Bless you.

@Silkie341 "Cheap liberal bullshit tactic"
Really??? His words have the power of experience, sacrifice and honor behind them. He believed in the American ideal so much that he put his own well-being on the line. What have you done? Compare his words to yours and you'll see just how weak you come across in comparison.
