I just received this from a friend and it is just beautiful. It shows how much the rest of the world thinks of our great country. This has effected them almost as much as it has us. It takes a little while to get all the pictures but is is sure worth it.

There was a big Proud to be an American event in MS tonight. It included an address by the Lt. Governor, prayer for victims and families, salute to armed forces/firefighters/etc. All that followed by a Diamond Rio concert. It was all free. The staduim was PACKED to just above standing room only.
Oddly, in a city with over 71% "minority" population, I did not see over 10 "minority" individuals there. Maybe a result of the choice of music. Don't know.
So anyway, I did not know that MS lost 2 individuals in the attacks and both were from the same small town. One was a passenger on the plane that hit the Pentagon. One was in the Pentagon. Seems very unlikely that both Mississippians would be from the same small rural town of under 3000 people.
