Wow! I don't check this site as often as I once did but I tell you I'm much taken aback but what I've read here. Like others, I started out reading a much deserved pat on the back/hugs galore.

Char, we've had minimal contact but I recall once before posting regarding your supposed "Anti-American" sentiments and how I've never even remotely seen that. One of the things that I have found here is that our "love" (not idolatry) of GL is borderless and is one of the things that SHOULD show us that we have much in common. As an American and the daughter of a D-Day survivor who I consider one of my heroes, I can still step far enough away from that to see that other countries do not always view us as we view ourselves. It's also true of us as people. Doesn't make either of us right or wrong...it's all just opinions. Some opinions, however, should be voiced privately but, when made public, you have no choice but to respond. And more power to you, girl!! I'm not sure I would have been so restrained.

Please keep up the good work you do everyday and know that, even when we forget to say thank you, most people here appreciate what you do for GL & for us.

Happy Holidays to all & blessings for 2011!
