I'm a Cincy river rat migrated to the Dayton area in '63. OK, so I'm an old river rat. I would have loved to have seen the Enquire article. That picture is worth a million words.

"Tezzie"
I like that name!
Nickname I coined yesterday. I thought it sounded descriptive. Feel free to use and spread at will!
Nice job, Tezzie, you're just SO sophisticated and smooth. Issue an arrogant putdown of the most popular and respected woman in America. Then put out a false-sounding high-handed apology through the press.
Pumpkin crunch cookies,....mmmmmm.
" "I'm a pretty cynical and jaded guy at this point in my life," Faulkner said of the moment with the president. "But this was the real deal. I was really impressed. It was genuine and from the heart." "
I don't agree with everything the President does but when it comes to integrity, honor, honesty and doing the right thing, I choose him everytime. I remember Truman and all the President's since then and this one is more special.
Thanks again for going above and beyond for me.
Truth be told ... I never get tired of reading it. Gives me goosebumps everytime.

I wonder if sKerry has ever shed a tear for anyone. Ick!
I wish you conservative, patriotic, God-fearing, salt-of-the-Earth FReepers would stop posting links to such caring, loving, heart-felt, and truthful videos like Ashley's and the SwiftVet's.
How in the hell is the world's most cynical, angry jackass . . . me . . . supposed to act like a tough guy when I've got tears streaming down my cheeks and I can't even see my keyboard to respond with my usual cynical replies?
