and the whole board places the truth far above anything else.

Haven't seen any other board so open and reliable.

Everything several posters have already said, but I also love the different forums, such as pets, cooking and baking, science, etc., etc.
I have learned a lot being here.
Thank you for being here.

I do not post as much as I used to, but I do come here to read posts from like minded people. A sense of family.

It's people who share common values and aspirations for our country, but it is also a community of friends. We share life experiences, life struggles and challenges, and sometimes loss, and DU always steps up with compassion, support and yes love. I am so very grateful for this site, especially at this challenging time.
