Letter: Helmville Rodeo a display of patriotism

I just returned from the Helmville Rodeo. I stood in silent prayer with several hundred people, every single person there stood with their hand over their heart as some little gal with the voice of a meadow lark sang our national anthem – while another one stood up on a barrel and did sign language for the audience.

The tears that ran down my cheeks made me a proud man. I shall watch the NFL no more forever.

Thank you God, thank you America, and thank you Helmville, Montana.
