Oleg,
You have masterfully captured the experience of being at the 9/12 rally. I will be forever glad that I made the small sacrifice in time and money to drive down to Washington and participate in the protest.
The atmosphere was just as you describe. It was as friendly as a church picnic. People were smiling and chatting with complete strangers. There was no concern for race or ethnicity. We were all Americans, proud of our country and eager for the government to recognize the values and principles that make it great.
Oleg, you are more American than most of us who were born here.
