This was awesome!!! I vividly remember this! This was the greatest human chain events in American history. I am so thankful that I was alive to witness and be a part of it.

I know this is going to sound mushy, but it did give me chills when it happened.... A nice idea, if only for a few minutes.... dispite all of our differences, and with all of our problems, we do live in a unique, special place.... United we stand, divided we fall!!!
