63. Very Well Done

I too admire this man for his courage, integrity, and determination. I've thought about him and his people often over the last few years and about how devastating the war has been and how much he and they have endured. It's heartbreaking. I was very angry to see them bully him in the oval office, and I was proud of him for talking back and not giving in to them.
