Yes, I suppose there IS a bit of irony in his/her 'explaining' to me what it means to be a soldier. :o)

And as you said, it has NOTHING to do with the courage it took for our President to stride out to that mound and throw that pitch.

He had the prayers of MILLIONS behind him..........millions who UNDERSTOOD what it meant to do what he did, and the BOLD faith our President showed the world that night.

And NO September 10th, missing-the-boat freeper will EVER take away that moment in American history.

It was, indeed MAGNIFICENT!

The Patsters, Keysters, Tancreedos, and members of the so-called base, (you know, the self-described "true conservatives", who delight in calling the rest of us RINOS, are such a small percentage of the GOP that their Third party vote or stay-at-home protest votes will be negligible at best in election '04.

The fool doesn't understand that there are different kinds of courage. One type I admire deeply is the quiet courage of those with loved ones in the war zone, keeping things going here at home, enduring the worry, missing that voice, that smile. I'm glad you know there are folks here in FReeperdom who care about them almost as much as you do — and about you.
