JIM - real good to see you “hanging” around FR after your surgery - /smiling and Semper Fi
ALL: For those who didn’t catch my whole sign on Greta’s interview, it said:
OBAMA-TEAR DOWN YOUR BARACKCADES
The interview was the second best part of the day. The best part was seeing the WWII and Korean War Vets. I cannot count how many vets had their picture taken with my poster, and me of course.
The local Daughters of the Revolution spend a lot of time at the WWII Memorial in 40s dress wishing as many WWII Vets well wishes.
After the WWII Memorial we went to the Korean & the Vietnam War Memorials. The Central Florida group saw enough of me so I went to the Lincoln Memorial to hold my sign. again, lots of pictures. Park police were also gracious. Talked with them a bit. One is a former Marine.
The Honor Flights are a great event. It takes a great deal of planning for each flight. Each Vet has a chaperon. Wheel chairs were from the Knights of Columbus and each flight has several medical personal along with them
Like going to Doctor Raoul’s funeral, I would have deeply regretted not being there. It is such an honor being at the WWII Memorial to see our Vets and to thank them. Very moving and heart warming. If anyone can be part of a Honor Flight or be at the WWII Memorial when they arrive, I highly recommend it.
[Mrs] T and I met up up Beverly, Chad, Chief and RongKirby at the WWII Memorial. Afterwards we went to Shelly’s for dinner and a cigar. Shelly’s is the only restaurant in DC where you can smoke while eating. Even the ATF has a cigar humidor there.
