“As an avid American history buff, I must take issue with you!!!”
Whoa now! Take issue with me? What the heck are you talking about? Besides, it you were such a history buff, you would know it wasn’t Flight 73!
Better switch to decaf! I just meant there will be more people there tomorrow! Leave me alone! You sound unstable.
How wonderful to see President Bush again. And to hear words spoken from his heart, full of emotion, sincerity and love. We had a leader then.
Now we have a campaigner-in-chief so shallow he doesn’t even cast a shadow, eyes glued to teleprompters, reciting words from it, no emotion, never looking at anyone, totally removed from reality. He is the center of his world. I hope people wake up before it’s too late!
I noticed that the piper was a minister....if he offered to play who would say no?
Ugh...in so many ways he and his liberal cronies were responsible for 9/11...not preparing after the '93 bombing, failing to get Bin Laden, maintaining the "wall" between intelligence agencies.
I hate to think of it on a memorial day, but they were warned so often and failed to take our defense seriously, both because of their ideology and their being mired in Clinton's woman-problems.
Thank God for wonderful President Bush who was anointed for a huge task and did SO much so well and ALWAYS with grace. God bless him always.
Oh, I so hope so!
Oh, I didn’t recall that. I thought he was referring to his son in the military. Thanks for the info.
I don't know if that's changed, but I hope he'll be there to at least give some honor to the occasion. Bloomberg seems to be doing his best to forget what really happened that day, and I'm sure Obama will talk about service and how bad America was before he came on the scene.....
President Bush will say the most meaningful words that are said.
Yes, he did bring together nice people!
All is well with us...one of our kids is a sophomore in college and the other a senior in high school so lots of changes.
Hope your family is well, too!
Thanks for posting the link.
I just hope no one was trying to sing along with Amazing Grace when he ran out of wind at the end and started meandering and wheezing.
RE: the rope line—people looked a lot more excited to see Pres. and Laura than Clinton or Biden, lol! It looked like Pres. Bush remembered some of the people from previous memorials, and knowing him, I bet he did.
I know that time will come for the public to begin acknowleging his accomplishments...I'm hoping it will be this 10th anniversary that does the trick.
Me like that.They all just start singing.
Enjoying the empty nest thing. ;)
Not so happy about this memorial. For multiple reasons - not just that it may remind 1 of Islam.
Glad I went there just before all this stuff. Last month, although of course they had the wall up and are pushing around alot of dirt.
I’m also a bit irritated about the boulder at the alleged crash point. By the pix and even the dent in the tree line there now, it seems they are way off the mark.
Did the Bushes leave? The camera keeps going back and forth on Biden and Clinton.
Without his leadership (imagine algor! Yikes!!), you're right. We'd still be scared.
I said on another thread that President Bush was a victim of his own success. He did such an amazing job of protecting us from evil that people forgot the threat that was there every day of his Presidency.
One of the lessons of 9-11 was that evil is real...and so is courage. -George W. Bush 9-10-11
Frankly, they don’t care. They hate America about as much as your average Commie; maybe a smidge less than Moslems.
Of course, I think the victims were mostly white (don’t know if any black), so the audience probably includes alot of family-friends-extended. Likewise, the locals are mostly white, I think. I think you have to go to Pittsburgh to find blacks.
