As Ogamugabe was arriving at Elwood, a military formation of helicopters flew over my house. One from each branch of service.

Luck would have it that my son-in-law, PV2 at Fort Knox was home for the holiday.

The flag was flying and 3 generations of Yokels were honored by the display!

God bless the USA!

Are the people in that photo using the chairs to protect themselves from the rain, or are they getting ready to throw them?

AWWWW...Hussein’s photo op speech was canceled????? Damn shame.

No matter, I doubt he meant a word of what was written for him in the Teleprompter anyway.

It was a bad storm...our power was out for awhile. I heard a CBS reporter on the radio comment on the already “somber” occasion made more so by the weather, and he also commented on the presidential motorcade leaving, driving past the wreath which was blown over by the storm. Wonder if anyone got that pic....

I was somewhat surprised they sent Obama to the microphone after the lightning struck near the ceremony.

And, with a metal handled umbrella, no less.

Where's my tinfoil hat? I hear the Twilight Zone playing somewhere in the background...

Fantastic, Matchett. That surely does bring back a lot of memories. God bless those men and women who were the greatest generation.

Meanwhile, Arlington National Cemetary, and the tomb of the Unknown soldier were attended by the Vice-President Of the United States, which on retrospect, seems fitting that at least someone who is a US Citizen, spoke in rememberance of the Men and Women who serve and in some cases sacrificed all to uphold their oath and the constitution. THIS YEAR, Arlington, and the Tomb were not desecrated by Obama’s presence. HE, IMO, belonged with his “People” in Chicagoland surrounded by the Brotherhood of Islam...
/sarcasm off.
