Bush presided Monday at a White House ceremony to greet the prime ministers of the new member nations along with NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer.
With the addition of Bulgaria, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia, NATO's membership grows from 19 countries to 26. The new members will take part in their first meeting Friday in Brussels. Three other nations - Albania, Croatia and Macedonia - hope to join.
NATO has agreed to include the Baltic states under its air defense shield, planning to enforce it by stationing four F-16 fighter planes in Lithuania.
The latest from Yahoo reads as follows:
President Bush welcomed seven former Soviet-dominated nations into NATO as "full and equal partners" on Monday and said the Western alliance was stronger because of their presence.
Under a bright sun on the White House South Lawn, Bush stood with the prime ministers of Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Hundreds of people cheered. Some waved flags of the new member nations, whose addition expands the alliance to 26 countries.
A military honor guard carried the flags of the NATO countries.
Fifty-five years after NATO's birth, Bush recalled that the seven new members were "captives to an empire" when the alliance was formed.

Yeah, it's a zoo alright. Eric said they were set to go, and then had to wait for a day and a half for a plane with nothing to do!
So what he and a couple buddies did was to stay up all night, and sleep during the day to get their clocks reset for U.S. time.
It worked. No jet lag! :o)

Whoa....wouldn't THAT be weird?!?!? Nah, not Peter. And my son isn't named Eric either. But hey, I still wonder if we weren't separated at birth!
To: anniegetyourgun
No, Mr. Ohio's name's not Peter.
I just thought it would be cool if you were married to Peter Gun, and he could be my brother in law........hehe.......

He looks wonderful. What a fine man he's grown into. Be sure to tell him we all love him and have been following his adventures in Iraq.

Isn't it nice to know that your son has a Commander-in-Chief that would love to be able to welcome him home in person and loves him like this....

Nope, but I got your e-mail, and that's the one I thought it was.
If Eric were there, he'd be doing the same thing! :o)

I typed it up and put it on cardstock paper and gave it to Eric to carry with him..........and he read it often. He said he would read a Psalm every day before he went out on an escort patrol. He knows why he has returned unharmed............and so do we. Psalm 91 is a very powerful Psalm. My beloved Dad passed away suddenly shortly after I gave birth to my youngest son. While still in the hospital, I instinctively picked up the Bible and read the entire Book of Psalms in one sitting.
I was filled with such Peace and in my heart knew that my Dad was with God. It was a comfort to name my baby son after my Father.
I am so happy to know that Psalm 91 became so much a part of Eric's prayer life.
