Of course the MSM probably did their damnedest NOT to cover this awesome event

Judging by others' comments, the ceremony sure wasn't easy to find. I missed it completely :(

COLIN POWELL WAS THERE. It doesn't get a mention on the Northrup site video, though.

Yahoo had a few photos of Powell and his wife at the ceremony, but I decided not to post them.

George Allen, hopefully the next President of the United States.......

After seeing the way he fought back against dems' dirty political attacks the past few weeks, I've really started to admire Allen.

Well that was certainly at the forefront of my mind.

Jeesh .. I don't know what's wrong with us ... DUH ..how could we have let that slip by .. tsk tsk tsk? The Event Media are probably writing a nasty article right now.

I have wondered if he asked not to be seated on the platform.

I commented on the thread that was dedicated to this event that the storm, the rain, and the two LOUD thunderclaps seemed portentous to me in regard to the waters into which the George H.W. Bush would sail. In the article you pinged me to, it says,
The ceremony closed with tenor Ronan Tynan singing "God Bless America," which opens with the lines: "While the storm clouds gather from across the sea, let us swear allegiance to a land that's free."
I had the strongest sense that this warship is going to be called upon to do heavy duty at some future, critical time. God bless her, and all who serve her.
