Even on a holiday! Rintense, you're something else! Thanks so much.

I saw two TV news blabberers today sniffing and sneering that this is the first President ever to be out of the country on Memorial Day. I was appalled. Compared to the great good our President is doing, the news bimbos seemed so petty and ridiculous and out of touch.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

The President's speech today was very moving. What blessings God has given this country. No greater blessing than those who are willing to fight and die to keep America safe and free. God bless all who have served our country in the Armed Forces - and may we never forget those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us. May we remain dedicated to doing whatever we need to do to help do the same today - to keep America safe, and free, and through it, to bless the world with freedom.

America is great because America is (or has been good). We must lose that integrity at our moral core. Thank God we have a President who has returned to our highest office a sense of honor and dignity and moral purpose. May those in this country who seek to tear him to shreds be, themselves, torn asunder. May God be our ever fortress and ever sure defense. Thank Him and Praise His Holy name!

(and thank you to any who saw the previous day's Psalm I just posted and the prayer request there).

Psalm 7 (Part 1)

¹ O Lord my God, I take refuge in you;
save and deliver me from all who pursue me,
² or they will tear me like a lion
and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

³ O Lord my God, if I have done this
and there is guilt on my hands-
⁴ if I have done evil to him who is at peace with me
or without cause have robbed my foe-
⁵ then let my enemy pursue and overtake me;
let him trample my life to the ground
and make me sleep in the dust.
Selah

⁶ Arise, O Lord , in your anger;
rise up against the rage of my enemies.
Awake, my God; decree justice.
⁷ Let the assembled peoples gather around you.
Rule over them from on high;
⁸ let the Lord judge the peoples.
Judge me, O Lord , according to my righteousness,
according to my integrity, O Most High.

When I saw George Bush striding through the fallen at Normandy, I got a pang in my heart. You could just feel the honor and respect that George Bush was bestowing on our fellow Americans,those that sleep the deepest. It was such an honest emotion, quite different from the nausea that I felt, years ago, when Clinton's presence desecrated Normandy.

President Bush today voiced so beautifully the respect and devotion for our fallen heroes that we feel this Memorial Day. From the crowd pictures it looks like the Dose has a new branch of French Bush Babes.

OH, it was wonderful! Seeing our daughter's name with summa cum laude under it, knowing that she has received a fabulous education, and is ready to face the world........well, the graduate school world, anyway......was incredible. And you know what? I hardly cried at all! For me that's real progress!

The weekend finished with a worship service for the graduates and parents, and with communion being served to the graduates. It was extremely moving and meaningful.

We got back at 2:00 in the morning (Minnesota's a long way from here) after hauling back both daughter and son's things (and them too, of course!). Now we have 2 weeks as a complete family before son #2 leaves for boot camp..........I'm going to savor every single moment.

Oh, yeah, and son #1, majoring in International Relations and Political Science told us on the way home that he is seriously considering applying for a job in the CIA when he graduates! Wild, huh?

Here's the last part of that article:

Although security was tight in Sainte-Mère-L'Eglise, several hundred local people lined the streets for several hours in the rain, chanting "Chirac" and "George Bush" and waving US and French flags.

One elderly man complained that the anti-capitalist, anti-globalist and pacifist demonstrations against Mr Bush in Paris and Caen on Sunday – and a new protest in Caen yesterday – were "completely misplaced".

"There may be disputes with the Americans today. That is normal. But these protesters forget what these young Americans did for us in 1944," he said.

Great speech, understated and elegant.

[Kaslin]

What is Colin Powel doing here?

[mombonn]

Breathtaking, extraordinary pictures of the Leader of the Free World! What a memorable Memorial Day this was.

Thanks so much for the beautiful pictures, rintense.

[Kaslin]

It's a shame that these protesters forgot what our country did for them

Thanks so much for those lovely photos. And even if I can't see his face, I know that's my dear son-in-law Harry, holding the American Flag in the honor guard!!

Let's hope more French are aligned with the gentleman speaking in the last two paragraphs than with the protestors we've seen on the news. Something in me always wants to strongly remind the French that they could be part of Germany if not for the brave U.S. military who gave their lives to liberate them.

[Fiddlstix]

Wonderful Picrures!
Beautiful Pictures.
Thank You!

They're so nice to see.
God Bless

Yay! You must be so proud of your children. Hope you have lots of family togetherness the next two weeks.
