Thanks, Louie. You are always so appreciative of what we do here, and it means a lot to me.
I've been waiting all day for you to show up so I can give you a big 'thank you' hug and SMOOOOOOOOOCH! :-)
Evenin', fuzzbo. : )
Evenin', wolfie. :-)
You're very welcome. I am happy to spread the word about this tradition that it seems so few of us knew about. I think that anything that we can do to keep the issue of our POW/MIAs in front of the public is a good thing.
Have a pleasant evening, Texagirl. I am getting ready to sit down and enjoy the Convention this evening. So far, the speeches have been great and I expect that Dick Cheney and Zell Miller will both knock one out of the park again tonight.
I will never forget either.
Yes, and Amen! God bless and protect our men and women deployed in the service of their country, and their families who wait here at home.
Great thread. Thank You, Mama_Bear and scubachick :-)
Thanks JW. It is nice to feel appreciated, and you always make sure that we do. :-)
Have a nice evening, FRiend.
I had not either. Seems that none of us here had heard of it, but I think it is a wonderful tradition.
Diver Dave has come up with the idea to set up a "table for one" at our annual FReeper Picnic on the 11th in Fresno, and he has offered to read the narrative too. I think it is a great idea! :-)
Great idea, Diver Dave!
Fresno Freepers are awesome! Looking forward to hearing Zell Miller and Vice President Cheney speak tonight. Saw on tv, President Bush and Laura landing here in NY, they will be hanging out with NY firefighter tonight watching the Vice President speak. I have a gut feeling that President Bush will win by a landside.
Bush/Cheney '04
firefighter should be firefighters
Harrumph! Some wolf you turned out to be!! You are so busy smooching my auntie that you didn't even say Hi to me! I'll remember this!
You are the best!! Finally our table will be complete! Thank you so much, LadyX. I never even thought about Jeeves!
You are welcome! Mama_Bear deserves all the credit for her beautiful post! Glad you liked it!
LOL!! Uh oh! ;-)
That is such a beautiful idea! I know Diver Dave will do a great job with the narrative! Just wish I was closer so I could join everyone at the picnic!
That is a BEAUTIFUL rose!! Did you take that photo?
Oh, I wish you were able to come too! We have a such a good time, and of course JK's tri-tip is always a big hit. :-)
Oh, I pray so! The alternative is just unthinkable.
Zell Miller and Cheney were fantastic, weren't they?
Yes. But one of my neighbor nurtured it. He has a beautiful rose garden.
They were awesome :-)
