After last nights State of the Union Address, I can't remember a more powerful moment than the mother of a Marine KIA hugging an Iraqi woman who had voted in a free election. That image, without a word being said, struck me as the single most powerful message in any State of the Union of my lifetime. I can't put words to it, it was so incredibly genuine and heartfelt. I don't know where Flugerville Texas is, but I'm going to find it. I hope the entire nation can come together a little more after seeing that hug... maybe I'm just too optimistic. Anyone else feel it?

i couldnt watch it either...
but that image struck me too

When the soldiers dog-tag got hung up on the Iraqi woman's sleeve, I had the feeling that he was there in more than spirit.
