WMAY has free
“Support the Troops” type signs and flags at the downtown studios today. They’re mainly
to use in support of the deployment parade, but they’ll give them to anybody who
wants them.

Today, we awoke the Patriotism in the Capital City.
An airline named
“Champion Air” was appropriate!! Yes, the feeling
lasts for hours – days – 400 days as it said on the
orders.
