The secret service detail came in at one point before the dignitaries entry in large numbers. The ones you see are the super trained ones who look like normal people. LOL. The ones I'm referring to have vests that say "Secret Service", are visibly heavily armed and line the stairways as if we were at a Nation of Islam gathering.
I was so taken aback, and so very grateful at the same time.
Real is real, and this is America.
