I do pretty good until I see the military salute -- that really gets me. Who would have thought we could sit hear watching people go through the line hour after hour.
A lot of AF types showing up now. The lady LC has wings!
My two Senators had comments in the paper and Sen Nickles was the funniest. He said when he was first running for Senate in 1980, President Reagan came to Oklahoma up for a rally. He wanted to know what to say and Sen Nickles told him to just wing it. President Reagan then asked the people of Oklahoma to send Don Rickles to the Senate -- he said for years people would jokingly call him Don Rickles.
It is amazing huh.
I can't turn it off. Occasionally, I will flip over to FNC to see if there is any news I'm missing, but I miss the solemnity of the silent reverence in the rotunda, and have to come back to it.
I know what you mean. I don't think I have seen any military in uniform not salute as they go by.
Maybe that lady A-10 driver, and unit CO, who refused to wear the Burka and ride in the back seat of the car in Saudi? :) Probably not, but it's nice to think it might be.
