They are terrific, aren't they. My favorite is the Photo of the Day for its photographic excellence and rich symbolism, but on a human level this one's my favorite:

PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: President and Mrs. Bush and their long-time friends, former Commerce Secretary Don Evans and his wife, are spending Memorial Day weekend together at Camp David. There is speculation in the media that the President may ask Mr. Evans to become the next Treasury Secretary.
Today, the President traveled to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, to give the commencement address to the Corps of Cadets.
SCHEDULE UPDATE: NOTE -- so far, new Press Secretary Tony Snow has not been annoucing the Week Ahead in his press briefings. Scott McClellan has stopped doing it regularly some time ago, and I can't help but wonder if it isn't due to security concerns.

I LOVE these pictures...great day for photographs!
It's a wonderful photo -- and I'm right there with you saluting him, BTW. :)
thank you snugs! you rock! :P
"...usually someone beats me! :D"
Me too, LOL! I'm glad that it was you this day!:)
Hi Maj. I guess in #4 they had just settled down for the opening ceremonies and were kind of just gathering in the sights.
you will get it next time i bet! :)
I've never really thought about it, but I guess it is. HS and college graduates do this too.
Now you've challenged me to try and find out how this started ;-)
They really do, for four long years. It is great to see them so happy.
They just spent four years having their lockers and living quarters inspected at the drop of a hat, being put on report if their uniforms and equipment weren't spotless, etc. Those uniforms better be beautiful. ;-)
Agree. On most days it would have been Photo of the Day.
I've only made it in 1st once in just shy of 6 months of being on FR...
So I seriouly doubt I'll get another any time soon.
But trying to get one is a blast! :)
Very, very well said.

They have just received their Bachelor of Science Degree

I do, however, feel sorry for the enlisted personnel under her command.
I wanted to see Cadet Liu's face and did a google search for her. Looks like she appeared on a Prairie Home Companion.

LOL! I don't understand your question, but I like it. It made me laugh.
lol~ I meant the uniforms themselves are gorgeous, but I agree with you, too!
