Dave... will become famous soon enough
I, too, am glad to have been a part of the Canadian Regional and able to particiapte in the singing of both the US and Canadian national anthems.

Being from the Detroit area, I was embarrased to find out that one of our co-ops attended the Detroit Pistons game when the fans booed the Canadians during the singing of their national anthem. The United States and Canada have a great relationship, especially here in Detroit and Windsor. We love our freedom to cross over the border, and in late June, we celebrate the International Freedom Festival together.

FIRST represents and brings out the best in people, and Canadian regional was a great experience. On Friday, I found myself wanting to sing along with the Canadian national anthem, and on Saturday, my wish was granted. I look forward to the next opportunity where we can sing and respect the national anthems together as freely and openly as we did at the Candadian Regional.

Many thanks to Mark and my friends on Team 188 for their efforts in making this Regional happen. I'll keep cheering for ya, eh?
