as the instigating that continues on about how it's the liberals who want the terrorists to win not the troops because if the terrorists win then Bush is wrong so that is the only way the Liberals can win. Now that is what comes out of this pathetic excuse for a human being's mouth, not the Dems, Liberals, or progressives.
I hope the young men and women in active military Iraq, Afghanistan, Cuba, here, Germany, Japan, Korea, and whatever pathetic place their commander in chief sends them realize that not one American want any terrorist to harm any of you. We just want you home as I'm sure you all want to be. We support you more than those cowards that sent you all into harms way. :patriot:
My dad just died, WWII veteran. We had a full military funeral for him because that is what he wanted. He was proud of his service. He served in Japan after it was bombed. The boxes of pictures he has is unreal. I had bough a folder to seal them in and have a few lines to journal them and then I was going to take him to Washington next Spring for the WWII Memorial and we were going to donate, in my father's name, all of his pictures with a short story beside them. Needless to say, my dad and I did not get this accomplished as he died this past May 17, 2006.
I started to put an "IMPEACH BUSH" bumper sticker on the lid part of his coffin because my dad was very political, civically participated, and always helped anyone who needed a ride to the polls. Plus, he had a sense of humor and would have laughed about it. My immediate family didn't think it was funny. Then my brother-in-law stated we should have put some on the ends of his casket; however, others in the immediate family didn't want that so we didn't.
I took my dad to the D-Day Memorial on the day it was opening. It was unreal security everywhere because of Bush coming. The veterans and their wifes were sitting right up front and the chairs were so close together it was like we were packed in there like sardines. Then we had to wait on bush for over 5 hours in the heat of the sun with no canvas to cover these elderly men (ranging from 75-85+). I was making water runs back and forth as people left and right were passing out from heat stroke. I was paying $1.00 a bottle of water just to pour it over my head. It was pathetic how the veterans were treated. The news media were set up behind us up on some kind of stage but underneath their stage they had huge fans blowing up on them plus a canopy to cover them out of the sun. Also, the upper level of the memorial had 2-3 tents with huge fans blowing and actual heat pumps going into all of them.
Those in the tents included Jerry Falwell, George Allen, Dumbya, Ari Fleischer, B***'s boy KKKarl Rove. Governor Warner at the time was not there. Just the Republican representatives appeared to be present.
As the veterans and their families melted in the heat, caterers could be seen taking in food and drinks. However, water per 16 oz. bottle was still $1.00. Every once in a while one of the less important people would step out and scan the crowd as they were all on the top level. Every speaker spoke from the upper level which was a clear view for everyone. B*** laid a wreath, there was prayer, and then the Marine Corp Choir (I think Marine Corp) sang a few songs. Planes flew over and one flew away for the missing and/or dead pilots in their honor.
I noticed a buzzing sound and my dad and the other veterans started looking around all the sky for the sound. It was cloudy on and off and it was hard to pin point which direction these planes were coming in. I asked my dad what was it and he said he had not heard those planes since he was in the military. Then out of a cloud about 8 of these old, WWII fighter planes came over. The veterans went nuts. It was great.
Then they announced the POTUS and everyone was looking and low and behold if he was not on the bottom level where no one could see. I got it on videotape, his speech that is, however, when they played the song in respect of the over 9,000 Americans that died that day, they also had the veterans stand up as well. Best part was Bush paying them honor. That made it for me.
If I hadn't taken my dad, he would have never been able to make it. Sorry so long, but I just lost my dad on 5/17/06. I miss him terribly.:patriot:
