    It was a proud moment for our country – being able to look beyond ourselves and our own needs, and do the right thing. I hope this will continue and will do my damnedest to see that it does! I hope our country hasn’t lost sight of it.

    I agree, Ida – our country has lost sight of so much wilderness and wildlife and its habitat. Being able to look beyond US our our needs is something we need to do – the right thing, hopefully.
