I just want to thank you, America.
From Detroit down to Houston, and from New York to LA, I have seen the pride in every American heart, and it's time I stand and say: thank you.
Because for once in my career, if only for a single, flash-in-the-pan moment, you actually gave a shit about us. You remember that? It was just a couple of months ago, when you wrote letters and called into radio shows and griped at your congressmen about how bad the VA was treating us. Those approximately three weeks? Those were great. Thanks for that.
