A picture with you standing next to President Bush in shades. How cool is that?
Dio...thank you SO much for bringing these pictures back here. Your thread was sorely missed by many.
Sweeeet!!!
Nice job, Dio!
Great to have you back, my friend. Your pictures are wonderful, as always. I don’t know what we’d do without you.
Awesome once again Dio!
SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK!!
Many Thanks.
Welcome Back Bump!
Ping. I’ve been complaining recently about how lizol seems to be doing better than any American at bringing us photos from the war on terrorism. But now our old friend Diogenesis has returned with a collection of photos, and their own perspective on the war. For those of us who are away from the Middle East, I just want to say God bless you both for the images of what is going on — I know this can be a lot of work, but I appreciate the views we get here from both of you.
Loved the pictures, from the Iranian Nomad horse women, President Bush with the cadet and the Eiffle Tower moon, thanks for the journey in pics. The U.S. Navy ships looked majestic too.
Quit quitting.
Are you stalking me?
:)
Thank you..Those were great.
Wow! I loved those pictures, too! I taught equestrian horsemanship for a few years, also rode and showed. I’m happy to see those girls having some kind of freedom to ride. I couldn’t help but think when I saw the beautiful pictures of our ships - wow! Look at those calm seas! Wonder what kind of fish could be down there.
Thank you so much!
CONGRATS! That’s an awesome picture with the CIC.....
THE ARSENAL OF DEMOCRACY...ain’t it a beautiful thing!
this young man looks like a very young Tom Cruise!
