[Miss Marple]

You know what I like? Whenever there is another speaker besides the President, when that speaker is done W always says to him "Good job!" It doesn't matter if it is a Supreme Court justice or a boy scout, Tony Blair or the teacher of the year, they all get the same praise. I look for it after every speaker with the President.

Went to gd's grade school Veterans celebration. It was very good.
Each student was given an American flag to wave. Some had Lone Star and US flags.

Dulles High School ROTC performed. NeeNee was concerned they were going to shoot at us. :)

Program started off with the presentation of the Flags. Pledge of Allegiance, and the Star Spangled Banner.

Grade school children sang other patriotic songs. We were all given the words to the songs as we came.

2 Army officers spoke to the crowd. The senior officer said at least 3 or 4 times "It's a great day to be a soldier in the United States".

A young man played Taps and the crowd had a minute of silence.

I was so impressed with all the respect this public grade school gave to the Veterans.
