Thanks, Papa
Thanks for hosting this contest. I'm glad it turned out so well. Thanks so very much for the silver trophy and all the points. I believe that this song really speaks to the heart of America, even more so now then when Israa and I first wrote it. I'm very pleased that you like it.
Thanks again.
