I am so proud and pleased that President Bush was in France, speaking at the grave site of so many of our wonderful young men on Memorial Day. Reminding those ignorant Europeans of the horrible consequences of appeasing totalitarians.
The reason the President's speech is so moving is because we KNOW that our freedoms have come at terrible costs. Those young lives, ended so that we can live in peace and safety.
And young lives this very moment being risked so that we can live our very ordinary, safe lives each and every day. God bless our president and each member of our military.
Wow! Who needs TV when the superb photos here reveal the essence of what is happening. I especially note the integrity of the President as he moves through the ranks of the heroes at the cemetery. And Berlusconi's warm Italian hug displays the progress and reform that conservatives are bringing to Europe. Just in time after eight years of decay and corruption.
I cannot end without referring to the greatest of all (at least in the 20th century): Ronald Reagan without whom none of this would have been possible. Had he not stood firm in the eighties...well who knows what would have been?
