I am writing this story as I sit at the bar in the Old Ebbitt Grill in Washington, D.C. I arrived a few days ago to see tall metal fences and heavy concrete barriers placed around the White House’s perimeter. I found myself gazing intently at our majestic American flag as it waived in the moist, warm winds coming off the Potomac. That lump in my throat returned as I thought of the countless sacrifices of so many men and women and their families to protect America and our freedoms. I recall, wondering what I would learn about America in this trip to witness history.
