Great Speech by the president. It was a great pick me up on a sad day for me. My dad passed on back in mid July. Veterans Day was very important to him and our family. He and most of my uncles served in WW2 or Korea. My dad was in the Navy and served in the South Pacific. I have a picture on my desk of my dad and my uncle riding on a float in the Veteran's Day parade last year. He's got a big grin on his face and he's wearing his Navy cap. You can see how proud he is to be there. Everytime I have looked at that picture this morning I start to get choked up.
It bothered my Dad terribly to hear the leftists rip on the war in Iraq. He knew how important it was and he thought that you couldnt support the troops without supporting the job that they were doing. It sure lifted my spirits to hear GWB fight back. I hope my old man was listening.

I'm sure he was, and I'm sure that now that he's in Heaven, he doesn't have to contend with liberals any more. Let not your heart be troubled!
