I so worry about our military with the outgoing of this President.
I taped the program. Yes it was very interesting
She and the President will be missed
I keep getting requests from the RNC for donations, but they are not getting one red cent from me
Many will miss the President including some of the BDS sufferers
The President made a point of thanking Dick Cheney and also Donald Rumsfeld. He was obviously moved by the tributes, as was I.
As I said, at least the military values him and knows how to say thanks. The RNC is made up of a bunch of ingrates and I refuse to give them another nickle. I will give my money to the Bush Library, instead.
Yeah, who knows what the “messiah” is going to do
They will show respect to the "messiah", but that is all
What a wonderful thing that the military did for their
Commander in Chief!
Do you suppose they dread the next one? He is so anti-military!
Thank you!
A place marker!
I can’t remember what the exact percentage is from the military that has doubts about him, but it’s quite large
60 percent either has their doubts or really don’t like the idea.
Thanks, Kas.
That was such a stirringly moving and touching ceremony,
made more so because Pres. Bush has such an obvious love
and honor for our awesome military, as he has demonstrated
so fully over these years.
My morning was so weepy watching and remembering.. and
I know he got choked up at the event. He chokes up, I cry.
It’s so sad to see him leave.
I loved the messages from the troops .. you can clearly
see how much they respect and honor him. It sadly won’t
be the same for them all too soon.
I think he’ll always make time for them in his life .. always.
If you remember in the Pentagon interview, he said
.. and you can tell he meant it .. it’s his obligation to
give them personal attention. They mean so much to him.
him.
I thought the Pentagon Channel did a great job ... and
it was a wonderful interview, with interesting clips and
tidbits, like Saddam’s gun, which will go to his Presidential Library.
I don’t remember ever seeing such a ceremony for another
outgoing President .. I certainly can’t imagine one more
lovingly presented by our fantastic troops.
God be with them and protect them and us all when he’s
gone from office. Too sad, too horribly sad.
God Bless America and God Bless President Bush and Laura.
Sniff ... ;)
Thank you!
It looks if all goes well dad will be home on Tuesday. Once again I ask for prayers we will get everything done and that there will be no last minute hitches for dad's release including medical reasons and also that the care package will be set up in time.
Many thanks
Eleanor
I am going to miss the President and Laura so much.
This is truly a keeper, the whole ceremony from the beginning.
Scroll down and choose:

Be sure to put it on full screen in the lower right of the screen.
O my gosh, the pageantry, the somber looks on his face close up ... all the emotion is right there. More tissues, darn it.
Oh, snugs, that is great news! I'm sure he'll do so much better at home.
Thanks for the link. I wonder how Gates will look at “He Who Shall Not be Named” (that’s what my kids call him!) once he is in office.
