Companies are so funny about rules.  I hope the singer doesn't get in trouble for during such an honorable thing.

I'm remembering the paramedic a few weeks ago that got suspended for getting off of his vehicle to help a choking victim.

Thank you so, so much for posting this!

It is so wonderful that with all the turmoil we find ourselves in right now a lovely person does something so heartfelt . . . God bless Denise and all those that have fought to keep our country safe especially those that have made the ultimate sacrifice!

Anyway I am loving France right now. They have stepped up and taken charge. I have only been to France and Paris once. They say the French are snooty to Americans. We found that to be untrue. They were more than nice to us. As we left our hotel concierge hugged my husband as they talked at night when my husband went down to get a beer.

She has a great voice.  Especially considering she was acapella.  But it didn't make me emotional.  When she was done, I felt like yelling "Play Ball!"
