an awkward confession

I get very emotional when the national anthem is sang or I recite the pledge of allegiance, to the point of tears. It's awkward to ask this, but hey, we're all friends here. Do any of you have this reaction?
My America has changed a lot over the years, some good, but mostly bad in my opinion, but she's still my America.

You're definite;y not alone brother.

I get a lump in my throat when the flag goes by.

This is not the America I wanted for my granddaughter. I pray she will not know war, she will not know want, that she will know peace, safety. This is still my country and she’s worth fighting for.
