If you missed Memorial Services at Arlington, you missed a blessing. When the President was introduced, there was a roar from the crowd, the loudest I have heard there. When Rummy was introduced for his speech, the crowd gave him a standing ovation, even the Prez stood. Rummy was moved. Rummy praised the President a bunch and the crowd clapped. He praised the President's courageous and bold leadership.

The President gave a moving speech and he got emotional a time or two (as usual).

Actually I saw it on CSPAN later in the day. I'm starting to like CSPAN because they show much more of the before and after activities.

It was a very moving ceremony. I was very touched by how the President and Rummy were cheered, and I think they were too. And of course the speech was very good and moving.

Anyone know when he's going to give another speech about Iraq? Weren't there supposed to be six of them televised?
