Then, after a fifteen minute intermission, the curtain opened just wide enough to show an American flag hanging from the rafters and almost touching the floor. It was huge. Then, a man walked out holding a large picture of the WTC as they burned on 9/11/2001. That alone brought a tear to my eye (and thinking about it just now brought another tear). This was followed by several other images related to 9/11 and then some pictures of our brave men/women in battle. And, finally, Glenn walked out holding a picture of a Marine hugging his two little girls. Anyone in the audience who wasn't crying at this point must not have a heart. Glenn stood holding this image over his head as the curtains opened the rest of the way. Standing on both sides of the flag, facing the audience, were representatives of each of the branches of our Armed Forces. The crowd ROARED! Everyone was on their feet. Glenn tried several times to quiet the audience so that he could say some words, but we didn't stop. The cheers went on and on.
When we finally sat and stopped cheering Glenn said some very nice words about and to these fine men and women standing on stage. Then, the flag lifted, the service-members left the stage (to yet more cheers) and Glenn shared with us, his thoughts on the true meaning of Christmas. I won't attempt to relate the stories he told, because I could never do them justice. Suffice to say, he touched my heart.

I hope 'Fer got the same out of it.
