Salute

   A lump in the throat
     a tear in the eye
 
   Grandpa's name
     writ large in the sky

I've got tears forming as well, Bill. It's hard to watch the desecration of the flag these days, so there's something about someone's grandpa that personalizes it and reduces the 'anti-military' knee-jerk reaction of those phony rich kids.
