This is just too good to miss.

Boy, you got that right, MEG.
Thanks for the post, RC.

I think I've gotta go buy a new monitor - This one's been getting awfully fuzzy with these stories out of Iraq.

Salute to our Armed Forces and Commander-In-Chief!

Wow! What a tear-jerker this is. I cried when it happened, too. The joy of the soldiers and the emotions of their Commander-in-Chief tell the story. The RATS can claim this was a political stunt all they want. They are dead wrong. This was a gesture of love on both sides.

The building actually shook. ... Soldiers were hollering, cheering, and a lot of them were crying. There was not a dry eye at my table. ... he stepped down and was just mobbed by the soldiers. ...

What a great eyewitness report.

Maybe Tom Brokaw will include this type of report in one of his airtime tributes to the soldiers, no?

In my dreams.

Wphile, thanks a mil for the ping. Ragtime Cowgirl, thanks for posting this.

[GretchenEE]

I await breathlessly a similar message from the troops who had chow with whats-her-name...

Bill! Bill! You're gonna turn blue and ...and ... and DIE if you do that! Please give up this lost mission and breathe again! We'll still respect ya even if you give up this goal!

I was putting up my Christmas Tree on Thanksgiving Evening, when I went to my bedroom and turned on FoxNews for any updated news... to my shock and ewe My President Had suprised my Military. I was in amazement but then I knew he would do something like that, because that is the type of person he is. I called everyone I knew and told them to turn on Fox. We all just sat in amazement and we all said, the Dems will say he did this to outstage hillary. It is never hard to estimate what the side of the devil will do.

[WaterDragon]

What a treat to be allowed to read this! Thanks for posting it. No dry eyes here reading it!

[colorado tanker]

It's nice to have a commander in chief worthy of the name again. (sniff, sniff)

[McGavin999]

Soldiers were hollering, cheering, and a lot of them were crying. There was not a dry eye at my table. When he stepped up to the cheering, I could clearly see tears running down his cheeks.

Can you even imagine being one of the guys who didn't want to go and stayed away? I really do wish there had been more pictures of the troops as he came out. The one I have seen just grabs your heart.

[ohioWfan]

I had a bit of trouble finding it in my files due to some mysterious blurred vision as well, MEG...........

You're welcome. :o)
