'never seen so many photos of such emotional events...'
Eleanor, you did a great job. Thanks! When VP Cheney spoke at the Pentagon ceremony this morning, it seemed like his voice cracked ..for just a moment...from emotion. He's always seems to contain his emotions, so it was a bit surprising and touching.
Sec. Rumsfeld gave a wonderful talk at that same ceremony. America is blessed to have these wonderful men in our government.
If you look at a couple of the photos he is blowing his nose and I would guess that was emotion rather than a cold or alergy. Each year like Wolfstar says further down on this thread it seems to get to him more and more.
