We were in the baby isle at Wal-Mart.  I was trying to pick out a new pacifier for my daughter while my friend browsed through the other baby merchandise.  Suddenly I became aware of the time.  I asked Jami to look at her watch, it was almost 10:15 pm.  We rushed towards the electronics section where we found several radios tuned to a country music station.  The radios weren’t playing Reba, they were introducing the President of the United Sates.  President Bush began to announce that military action had begun in Iraq.  There I stood, by a good friend and three Wal-Mart employees witnessing history.  We stood there quietly, watching the lights on the stereos, listening to our Commander In Chief.  The mood was somber.  I thought to myself about the severity and terror of war, about the unknown threats that lie ahead, about the almost poetic patriotism that is conveyed when 5 strangers join together in silence around a stereo in a Wal-Mart Super Center.  That’s when a rather large woman pushing a shopping cart with several kids in tow interrupted our historic moment by asking one of the employees I was standing by if Wal-Mart had Scooby-Doo DVDs in stock… that leaves me speechless.
