b- Watching a town parade along a street, with pride inside, as the local school bands stroll by in their colorful uniforms...floats that aren't perfect...Scouts trailing along...horse groups prancing in line...fire engines bringing up the rear.
c- Sitting at a summer baseball game and ALL RISING to hear someone sing the "Star Spangled Banner", with a salute or hand on heart....

k- Receiving an old-fashioned handwritten letter from anyone.
