Just compare this with the Dem Wellstone memorial.

UGH, I'm trying to forget about that. It was so awful I have a hard time thinking of enough bad words to describe it.

Commander Husband met with crew and families night before launch, concluded by quoting from Joshua, ending with "Be strong and courageous . . . for the Lord will be with you wherever you go"

"Eternal Father Strong to Save"

Takes me back to the burial sequences from the movie, "The Right Stuff". Missing Man formation probably coming up.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Thank you - and the link to the NASA site - am watching in online - not as good a picture but do have the sound. Thanks be to God for this President, for these heroes, and for God's comfort at this terrible time!
