A HERO SALUTES
|
 |
Casey Owens, a wounded Marine, salutes as his mother Janna Owens cries during the inaugural speech by President Bush. The president pledged to work to heal a country divided by the Iraq war. "We have known divisions, which must be healed to move forward in great purposes, and I will strive in good faith to heal them."

Oh, man . . . That will choke you up -- unless you're a democrat. God bless the man and his family.

really, these are the people we need to have telethons and fundraising efforts for. not that I don't have compassion for the tsunami victims, but there needs to be a similar effort that gets as much media attention and charitable organization efforts for both the families of our KIA and those men who have returned home with significant injuries.
To: crushelits
I don't mind telling you all that this picture brought tears to my 'ol eyes
....The honor and dignity of Casey Owens is astoundingly obvious.
To: crushelits
This is a heart moving pic!

Too bad he and his mother weren't right on the Dais with W. I know several Senators who were there and who should have been replaced with this hero.

The scum protesting near-by are not worthy to be in the same city with this hero. God bless him. Very moving...
