Agree. Back when I was a "red-shirt" (Aviation Ordnance) with VA-163, A-4 Skyhawks, (out of NAS LeMoore, Ca.) aboard the USS Hancock CVA-19 in '68-'69, "skittles" was yet to be invented.

(Red shirt=ordnance, purple=fuel , brown=plane captian, yellow=cat guys, green=tron/liq ox, white=safety..etc..etc.)

Just watching the President's carrier landing and how he spent the time to shake the crew's hands, have photos taken and the overwhelming pride he showed them, and they showed back...confirmed my belief in knowing our President is the right man, at the right time, to lead these United States to the future toward Freedom and Truth!

Thank God for President Bush. He's probably the first "real deal" and most honest occupant of 1600 Penn. Ave.
