I was just an Army SGT at the White House when President Ford was there. When we passed by he would usually nod or throw a good morning my way. Carter never did. It was an honor just to hold an umbrella over The President or Mrs Ford. They were just common, good people.

I just watched and heard the words given by Dick Cheney.
Never a greater tribute has one man given another. It left me tearful.

They were just common, good people.Yes, common and good...and also strong to remain true to those roots.

Thanks for that, Chesty.
You've got the perfect audience if there are any stories you'd like to tell tonight. (hint, hint)
