I'm a trusting soul, sometimes to my disadvantage :-} I choose to believe OP, have a huge lump in my throat, and will be wondering about her/him and colleagues all through the holidays, and right up to the day after the inauguration. I've had an anticipatory feeling for a while now, that 2017 is going to be a really weird year. Not sure how, but I hope and pray it will be a long, routine series of uneventful arrests and trials. It's probably going to shock the uninformed even more than the election results did, and that's saying something. Well, I say make an example out of them, and don't apologize for shit.

I'm in such awe of what you folks do. It's so difficult, and even when some ol' gal on a message board wishes she could let you know how much you're appreciated, there's no way to know if you learn about it. But I hope you do - I hope all of you do.

Dear kind person, America is really just people. I hope all of you will try to remember the millions of good, plain, folks who do millions of mundane and good things every day to make the country what it is. Those folks can't begin to imagine even a fraction of what must have been taking place for so long, and I speak only for myself, but I'm so proud of you and so incredibly grateful for your service. Be safe out there and take good care of yourselves. You did what you had to do, and my God, what that must have been for you.

You have to look at the darkness so much; try to rest your eyes and your minds on the light side whenever you can.

This may sound dumb and corny, but I don't care, and am about to cry myself. God Bless America, your home sweet home. It's not a dark blighted city, or a bunch of buildings in DC, or a disgusting gang of degenerate people. It's all the rest, the stuff you don't get to see... the guy changing the oil in his car on a Saturday morning, the woman laughing with her pals at the gym, the innocent kids playing soccer or in the school marching band on a Friday night, the old people walking at the local park, the farmer on a tractor way out in the country, or you in a lounge chair on a Florida beach at sunset... those people and millions more are the America you love. They never went anywhere. <3
