Going to the game was an unofficial YM's activity, as we were able to get cheap tickets through Joshuas school. In this Picture (Front to Back) Joshua, Jen, Val Pickard, (Bishop)Mike Pickard,

We had a great time.

Our night at the football stadium was alot of fun. It was prime time showing for Monday Night Football, so it didn't even get started until 8:30 pm EST. The game was fun, but the best part about the evening was the opening ceremonies and National Anthem. It openend with the flag being displayed (shown above) and the national anthem being sung by a group of 6 people that was absolultely amazing and inspiring. Just as the National Anthem was conculding and the words "Home of the Brave" rang through, 4 fighter jets roared over the stadium just above our heads at a deafening noise. It happened so fast, I didn't have time to take a picture. But it sure was neat. We all got chills, and a few tears were shed. What a wonderful thing it is to be an American. Even our friend Diego, who is Argentinian, made comment that he wishes that patriotism was something more celebrated in his country like it is here in America. We are blessed, and despite it's imperfections, we, here in South Florida, are still very
Proud to Be Americans.
