On April 29, 2004, as a service and tribute to members of the World War II Generation, the National World War II Memorial opened for public viewing, exactly one month prior to the formal Dedication Ceremony taking place May 29, 2004. The World War II Memorial is the first national memorial dedicated to all who served during the Second World War. The memorial, established by the American Battle Monuments Commission, honors all military veterans of the war, the citizens on the home front, the nation at large, and the high moral purpose and idealism that motivated the nation's call to arms. The Second World War is the only 20th-century event commemorated on the Mall's central axis.

Don't forget that you can watch the dedication today!! God Bless all of our Veterans & Active Duty!!!

 

[Fawnn]

Get in line!

I've heard it's already around the block! ;)

[MoJo2001]

You are absolutely correct.

You shouldn't speak anymore. After all, that's exactly what they want you to do.

They want you to go away.

Be more like MoJo, live to spite them. Hehe!

[Kathy in Alaska]

YOU have nothing to be absolved from!! You are there in their hearts. You are there via phone. You are there via email. You are there!! That you are torn up is an indication of how much you ARE "there"!! You care!!

"...that I had to go away because I loved them so much that I HAD to protect their entire country. Was that REALLY the truth?"

That was the truth. Never doubt that for one minute. It is you, and the rest of our military men and women, that keep America free for the idiots with big mouths.

[MoJo2001]

Ms.B,

Um, you okay?? I know you're flying. However, have you landed or are you flying over to get me yet? Huh?

[MoJo2001]

[Jet Jaguar]

You are busting your butt for the future of your child. You are on the front lines. Not like Hannity or Boortz. You are the fighter. The Nation relies on you, the SecNav relies on you. The CINC relies on YOU. You have a huge part in all of this.

The leftist is already known to you. You are protecting
their freedom to act like seditious pigs.

The righties are against you because you are in the Navy?

Your doing fine... don't let some jackasses get under your skin.

[MoJo2001]

Are ya gonna adopt me or do I have to fake being Daisy Fuentes? LOL!

[Jet Jaguar]

Thank you, Ma'am!

[Long Cut]

Actually, I live for two reasons...

1. To suppport and love my family;
2. To support and defend the Constitution.

That includes the descisions of the Supreme Court, which is appointed over me.

there appear to be some who think my duties lie elsewhere. Thus, when I disagree, they call me an "enemy".

It escapes them that I only defend the PROCESS by which we make our laws.

[Kathy in Alaska]

He's an idiot! Flapping his gums behind a keyboard and making blanket statement about things of which he knowing nothing.

[MoJo2001]

It escapes them that I only defend the PROCESS by which we make our laws.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I would imagine that a lot escapes them. Hehe!
 

[Jet Jaguar]

Not my viper's--They only have good dreams.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Oh come on....
LOL...
What utter drivel!!!
Sheesh, Long Cut!!
It's a Navy wannabe!
TOUGH STOUGH?
BWAAAAAA!!!!!
Tough would read "Tuff" in Maine...
But "STOUGH?"
HA HA HA HA...it would come across as.."stowgh"..."stowed"?
Hee heee..
He should study the devastating effects of his tagline!
Ms.B

[Jet Jaguar]

I would love to adopt you. Mrs. sgt. would probably feel otherwise.

[MoJo2001]

Kerry flounders with the masses (VERY good Australian editorial!)
The Age. Australia ^ | May 30, 2004 | Roger Franklin

 

What an insult to Flounders everywhere.

[MoJo2001]

Mrs.Sgt would love me. I'm sure of it. LOL!

[MEG33]

Somebody posted a link here on FR that was a porn site instead of the one intended...It was a shocker!(It made me feel pity for gynecologists) The mods said it was their routing mistake , not the posters fault..or some such.The poor poster was bloodied and beaten by that time! LOL

[MoJo2001]

Looks like his tagline is a "Shooting blanks" issue. Hehe!

[Long Cut]

To be fair , Sarge, I'm not on Deployment right now, I just got back.

I'll be going next Summer.

There are Soldiers who face FAR MORE than me on a day-to-day basis. I just had some rough times for a short while "over there".

I just would like a good night's sleep, once in a while...

[Fawnn]

ROFL!!!!!!!!! (It's a good thing I wasn't drinking when I read that!) ;)
