I heard it too.

True story:

I don't normally drive the wife's car. This morning, I was taking my daughter to school and was running late, so I just jumped in her car since it was already out of the garage. Wife always leaves crap on in the car when she turns it off. I hate that. This morning, she'd left the radio on. Just as we get in the car, that tribute was starting.

My daughter, who usually talks and talks and talks, sat silent.

We get to the end of the driveway, there was that flag.

We drive down the road, flags everywhere. All the while in the background we are listening to that tribute montage. Some parts were scary, some parts made you angry, some parts made you extremely sad.

My daughter just reached over and held my hand. We held hands, didn't say a word, all the way to her school. She is 12. When the montage was over, she just uttered, "WOW!". That was it. Wow. Nothing else needed to be said.

True story.
