WOWZA,re:the rootbeer colored pic!
AWSOME!
I might have to come out of lurkdome and start posting from my work computer because the silence I'm being forced to keep is driving me mad!
BTW, did you get my FR mail?
I’m not the one to ask. Why ask me? Surely you know others better than I that you can ask. I say this publically because you asked me publically...
Not mad just puzzled as to why ask me?
I’m not going to tell news that isn’t mine to tell...sorry.
Again,my tone isn’t mad just very puzzled why you picked me to ask????
Sorry to have bothered you.
Not bothered...just simply & kindly stated my puzzlement is all.
Have a good day!
‘kay! You too! :o)
Wonderful # 17 post!
Beautiful, Conor! Just beautiful.....
Fresh losses fill Arlington’s Secton 60
In a cemetery dignified by age and order, one section resonates with youth and immediacy
WASHINGTON In Section 60, death remains too fresh to be separated from life.
You see it in the 17 cigars pushed into the grass near one headstone, signs that a combat unit stopped by.
And in the mother who spent winter afternoons wrapped in a sleeping bag, stretched across her son’s grave.
And in the older man who reads Robert Frost to the dead, knowing that their families live thousands of miles away.
Here in Section 60 are the graves of 336 men and women killed in Iraq and Afghanistan almost one in 10 of the dead. Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom have produced the highest percentage of burials at Virginia’s Arlington National Cemetery from any war.
Section 60 is the one place to get a sense of the immensity of the nation’s loss.
The great expanse of the cemetery is known for its orderliness, its precision. Each Memorial Day, the government places an American flag exactly one foot in front of every headstone. Only flowers are allowed on graves.

Doctor convicted of supporting al-Qaida
By LARRY NEUMEISTER
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK — A Florida doctor was convicted Monday of providing material support to terrorists by agreeing to treat injured al-Qaida fighters so they could return to Iraq to battle Americans.
Dr. Rafiq Abdus Sabir, 52, was convicted in federal court in Manhattan after a three-week trial that featured testimony by him and Ali Soufan, an FBI agent who posed as an al-Qaida recruiter in a sting operation that led to four arrests.
