Let's be humble and remember we are all Americans

By

At yesterday's Democratic National Convention, Trump was asked had he ever been to Arlington Cemetery and seen all the religions, races and gender. I have walked the Arlington Cemetery, This one in Normandy and Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio. I am always amazed at all the different last names that obvioulsy depict other races, the different religous symbols on the graves. The most important thing we must all remember no matter whether Democratic or Republican we are all Americans no matter anything else.

I was riveted to the speech given at the DNC by the father of Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, who died as a U.S. Army Corporal, in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Kareem was also a Purple Heart and Bronze Star recipient.  We forget sometimes, there are religions other than Christian that serve in our armed forces,

Yolanda, Arlington National Cemetary is such an inspiring place, and you really get a feeling for the great diversity of the men and women who have protected our freedom over the years. 

And I, too, was riveted Mr. Khan's  speech.  What a humbling moment!
