Oh, man, it has to be killin' Squirt Boy somewhere deep down inside Absolutely!
Also, that is no BS about Clinton and his staffers stealing the terry cloth bathrobes and towels from the carrier when he stayed overnight. The Navy was so pi$$ed off, they leaked it to the media that they wanted them back--pronto. At first, Clinton's juveniles denied they stole them--then they blamed the Navy for being "disrespectful", then they said it was all "old news", then they said the Navy TOLD them to take them as gifts.

You've been blessed to actually shake his hand... green with envy, here. I think if I was near the president, I would either swoon, or become speechless, when my utmost desire would be only to say, "May God bless you!".

This has been a joy to read and to watch! (got to a TV and watched the NBC live feed also). The shared joy was so obvious! This is the kind of thing that all of America should be seeing - all the world. It better be re-aired tonight but my money says it won't be. The leftists cannot tolerate the love and joy they saw today.
Thanks, Howlin, for starting the thread. And for all who contributed.
What a joy!

To: ohioWfan
That was truly spectacular...mainly because of the quality and the spirit of our men and women in uniform--which today includes the Commander-in-Chief!
A great day to be an American!

Update: Hillary has leased the hot air balloon, bLIMP1, and will fly coast to coast with a megaphone denouncing the President and announcing her candidacy for 2004. Kerry cancelled his plans to land on a French aircraft carrier.
To: Cordova Belle
Super Hornet F-18's are getting ready to launch. From the news accounts, President Bush will be helping launch the Super Hornets which will clear the deck of the carrier! They stayed around before flying to their home base at Lamore (sp) to greet the President!

I was on a rope line in West Virginia, and told him I prayed for him and Laura every day, and he KISSED me on the cheek, and told me that it was the kindest thing I could do for him!
I felt like I was the ONLY person in the room in that brief moment, and then he shook my son's (who is now serving in the Middle East) hand.
It was an amazing moment, and he is an amazing man.

To: Grampa Dave
Compare that one to the picture of Dukakis in the tank.
To: Pan_Yans Wife
During the rope line, most of the comments to the President were, "God bless you, Mr. President," and my personal favorite, "We love you."
