As moving as I would expect from him. A very sad situation indeed.

It's terrible, that, at 44, neither of his parents nor any of his grandparents are alive to see his accomplishments.

Oops -- he said she was born in '22 and lived through two world wars.

I commend him for being able to keep his poise in public. I'm sure he'll be crying privately when he sees Michelle.

How would you describe today's war situation? There's military action in, like, 60 countries right now!
