Chuckling to myself as I think back 20 years ago in rural Georgia. I was a new teacher and each morning all the school stood with their hand on their hearts and sang to the top of their lungs the Lee Greenwood country song, "I'm Proud to be an American". I think the houses a mile away could hear them. Sorry, just a funny memory.
