This response merited its own post...read up, everyone!

(Note: I received this letter last night in my e-mail. If you click on the links this doctor has provided, you'll find that this doctor works with veterans and their families regarding post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I know there have been a lot of hits on my post about this issue, but he's the only one who's written back to me. My challenge to you: who's next? Also, thanks to Brian at http://audienceof1.blogspot.com for shouting out my blog topic to his readers. I hope this situation has made all of us think about what patriotism and tolerance really mean. I reproduced the e-mail verbatim, but if anyone doubts the authenticity, I can forward the original. Just so's ya know.)

Your intrepid questioner of all things,

Dear Sue,

I came across your blog and you asked readers if they knew where to find a
download of 'Nuestro Himno'. You can listen to the full version on National Public Radio here:http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5369145

This is still America last time I checked and there is freedom for artistic expression and interpretation. I listened to the song and thought it was beautiful and inspiring. It gave me goose bumps just like the English version does, so I'll go with my gut on this one.

Isn't it amazing how so many people are ready to condemn something BEFORE they even listen to it????

An open minded patriotic American,
Robert Roerich, M.D.
