My favorite moment of the 123rd day of 2015 was at approximately 11AM. On 5/3/15, the Minor Softball Team from the Joint Base in NJ came to visit Oaklyn. So we decided we'd go all out, including playing the National Anthem before the game. It was a beautiful day, and I just closed my eyes and listed to the Whitney Houston version and felt connected to the first time I heard it during the 1991 Superbowl and thought of all the people serving in this country and across the entire world. I have never served in that way, but I could try to connect to those that do, and, as I often say, say prayers of thanks for their service and wishes for their safety. I am so appreciative of those who give up so much for the safety of this country.
