Well, I'm home.........and empty handed. With half my shopping finished.....the power went out. Emergency lights came on in the main aisles, very dark in the regular aisles. After about 20 minutes, they herded everyone to the front of the store (during which time they made an announcement, "Code Adam", lost kid.) Then after about 20 more minutes, they came and said it looked like a prolonged outage and they were "evacuating the building".

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and sleep well, Tom. Thanks for all the mirth and merriment you provide for our troops. God bless you good, and thanks for your service to our country too.

You never should have driven to Ohio to do your shopping! I've been trying to warn you that it's been crazy here. ;)

From my email.

Subject: Walter Reed Hospital

At Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington DC recently the sergeant Major of the Army, Jack Tilley, was with a group of people visiting the wounded soldiers.

He saw a Special Forces soldier who had lost his right
hand and suffered severe wounds of his face and side of his body. The SMA wanted to honor him and show him respect without offending, but what can you say or do in such a situation that will encourage and uplift?

How do you shake the right hand of a soldier who has none? He decided to act as though the hand was not missing and gripped the soldier's wrist while
speaking words of comfort and encouragement to him.

But there was another man in that group of visitors who had even brought his wife with him to visit the wounded who knew exactly what to do.

This man reverently took the soldiers stump of a hand in both of his hands,bowed at the bedside and prayed for him. When he finished the prayer he tood up, bent over the soldier and kissed him on the head and told him that he loved him.

What a powerful expression of love for one of our wounded heroes!

What kind of a man would kneel in such humility and submission? It was the wounded mans Commander-in-Chief, George W. Bush; a true leader.

This story was told by the SMA at a Soldiers Breakfast held at Red Arsenal,AL, and recorded by Chaplain James Henderson, stationed there.
Pass it on...the press won't
