I did make it to the Welcome Home party for
the President and Laura.
Here are a few of the
pictures I took.

Waiting for the President in beautiful clear weather
while being entertained by the Gatlin Brothers
Lee Greenwood and more. Gov. Perry made a speech, too.

A nice TALL young man took this one for me because I
could see almost nothing! LOL!

...but I DID get a few mementos of the occasion.
The president, as you probably saw on the feed
gave a sweet, nostalgic speech that brought tears
to my eyes.

I wondered if you were one of those in the front who was able to shake his hand. Oh, well. You got to be there in person, anyway; that was nice.

Thank you so much for your pictures and report. I'm excited for you that you were there. I sorely wished I could be too. I watched online and cried tears of gratitude and joy for the REST of his life. What a dear man, woman, and family. Character DOES count, and he surely has great character.
Oh...and one more thing...I REALLY started to tear up when W talked about looking in the mirror tomorrow... My Dad used to say it was important to look at yourself in the mirror and like the person you see. Dad, a WWII Vet of 35 missions over Germany died in 2002. It was like he was back and talking to me through the goodness of W.
OH...am I gonna MISS this dear man.
