What kind of isp connection do you have in Iraq?

i don't know all the specifics on it. but about 70 of us put 100 each toward a satellite internet system. one of the flight engeneers (who does some networking stuff back in the states) went down to Kuwait and picked up the system. with wireless routers in different places around the living area.

They just finished playing Taps.

I'd missed this the first time I watched the dedication: The camera panned the audience, and after Taps ended, you could see the veterans returning their hats to their heads. (I only viewed one person -- a female -- who hadn't taken off her hat. I'm not sure about the protocol for that.)

Earlier today on the live thread, I mentioned that while watching today's ceremony, I missed being in HS band for the first time in memory since graduating from HS. (I miss the moving Memorial Day services we'd hold in our small town, too.)
