The VP certainly seems to at his element with service men and women I am sure he will enjoy the event and his speech will be well appreciated by all of those who are fortunate to attend.

I have always admired Dick Cheney and think that he would make a great President. He is far and away better than the current crop of losers running for the office.

A short item for Florida Military families from the GOE site, borrowing a thread for a quick FL State PING.


Short lead time - Free cruise for military families THIS WEEKEND

May 28, 2008
Eagles!
Short-notice good deal for military families! Eagle Janet Pearson has just uncovered this. If you know any military folks in Florida who might be able to launch on two days’ notice, please pass this info on to them.

I'm guessing less than 1 in 10 Americans actually know what a fid is, or what it is used to accomplish.
