Last night I watched a little of the Olympics because I knew that Michael Phelps would be swimming again. In the 200-meter he took the gold medal by breaking his own world record. Team mate, Peter Vanderkaay, took the bronze medal.
I was touched and felt especially proud when after they received their medal the Star Spangled Banner was played and both boys put their right hand over their heart. The media has made comment about how nice each of these young men are. It is obvious that someone taught them to be proud of their country and the proper stance to take when the national anthem is played.
There are a lot of older adults that could take some lessons from these young men... some of which are running for public office.
