Marine One just flew over my house! Probably meeting with the Maupin's (Batavia, OH)

I was sitting in my house here in Batavia, OH which is east of Cincinnati, and heard the rumbling of a large helicopter. I live in a rural area and we don't get much air traffic out here. Bush is holding a huge rally in Cincinnati today at the stadium and I knew he got into town last night.

When I ran outside and looked up I saw Marine One lumbering over my house heading from the area of town where the Maupin's live. The Maupin's are the parents of Pfc. Keith Matthew Maupin who has been missing in Iraq for quite sometime now.

I know the Maupin's are Bush supports and Bush usually meets with them when he is in town.

I won't be able to go to the rally today in Cincinnati but hope that Bush has a HUGE turnout!

I snapped some photos but won't have time to upload them until later. GO BUSH!

Did you wave your arms like an idiot?

I did when Air Force 1 flew by in NM. :)

I was too busy frantically trying to operate my digital camera. ;)

When I was working on Long Island Sound in the 1990s, Clinton's helicopter flew overhead twice when he landed in Stamford, CT.

I'm proud to admit that I mooned him both times, one of which I have on videotape.

I live in Eastgate and just heard the same thing. Didn't know what it was but it sounded really big or heavy.

Folk, this is a great President. No dispute.

You had better watch out after Monica he may have changed his tastes

[penowa]

You have enough qualifications to get my vote if you want to run for something!

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Where in Eastgate? I'm in Polo Fields off of Beechwood Road.

I have a friend that is close to a top Republican party member who informed me that he arrived last night and was staying at the Cincinnatian.

I don't mind sharing that now that he is no longer there and safely lumbering around Cincinnati.

I pray we have the 50,000 turnout they want and that the rally is safe.

God Bless Bush

I am going to the rally and I will tell the President you said hello.

[debboo]

Oh mercy, what a sight that must have been, lol.

[TSgt]

I'm in between Owensville and Williamsburg.

[SALChamps03]

What a nice experience to have. That must have been very cool!

[TSgt]

Not a more safer place to be than in the midst of a bunch of Republicans!

Stay safe and have fun!

I've got to run to my Grandmother's 80th birthday party.

Out in the sticks, eh?

I thought the President travelled during the campaign within a group of 3 identical helicopters for safety.

The Maupin's are the parents of Pfc. Keith Matthew Maupin

Keith Matthew Maupin and my son are in the same transportation co. in Iraq.(The 724th.) There was a report that Maupin had been murdered and a videotape made of it but it was never confirmed that it was him.

The first 22 members of the company to be sent there a year ago is being cycled out of the country - My son among them. Prayers always for Pfc. Keith Matthew Maupin.
