Below is an interesting story to read when you have some time to think and appreciate a sense of honor that goes beyond most codes of mankind. You will find that it is more than kindness by the results - a code of life. Follow the two links within the article for the real bonus.

As an addendum to the earlier post San Antonio Theater Shooting Gun Control and Media many other more practical solutions are being utilized all over the world.

"So with all the kindness I can muster, I give this one piece of advice to the next pop star who is asked to sing the national anthem at a sporting event: save the vocal gymnastics and the physical gyrations for your concerts. Just sing this song the way you were taught to sing it in kindergarten -- straight up, no styling. Sing it with the constant awareness that there are soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines watching you from bases and outposts all over the world. Don't make them cringe with your self-centered ego gratification. Sing it as if you are standing before a row of 86-year-old WWII vets wearing their Purple Hearts, Silver Stars and flag pins on their cardigans and you want them to be proud of you for honoring them and the country they love -- not because you want them to think you are a superstar musician. They could see that from your costume, makeup and your entourage. Sing "The Star Spangled Banner" with the courtesy and humility that tells the audience that it is about America , not you."

This is one of the most difficult situations in life we now have to face. The world has changed in our lifetimes. Trying to cover a situation that strikes home from the other side of the world is difficult with sketchy news. But not nearly as difficult as what family and friends are going through. That is where the thoughts; prayers and efforts should go now in support. God bless the families affected wherever they are – God knows who they are.
In the long-term we need a strong government and military to help prevent and respond to suppress such behavior in the world. It is our responsibility as citizens to voice concerns and control government to meet those goals. To do this we need to remain strong and empowered as citizens.
We are Americans, we are Free.
