ROFLOL Good shots of "W" and a great laugh at 26.

Dose Memory Field Trip???

If I recall correct, W put it right over the plate.

Which is amazing given the bullet proof vest he had on under his coat. Just getting the ball to the plate doing that is an accomplishment.

An Amazing and very real moment, I remember it well....

I gotta tell you something, Today I was clearing out alot of fallen branches from the snow storm we had last week, my wife came out and said I looked like "W"...LOL!!!!!

[hoosiermama]

He meant in January 2001 it when he said:

We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose. Yet His purpose is achieved in our duty and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.
Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew the purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.
This work continues, This story goes on. And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.

Every act he does, from throwing the first pitch out, flying, visiting troops, children, hospitals, he does his very best. He truly believes it is his duty to serve our county with dignity, hard work, excellence and kindness. He is the epitome of a GENTLEman.....God HAS blessed America!

You're right, it would be a great ad! I remember watching it through my fingers and holding my breath. I was scared to death for him.

This picture is my favorite. Do you know who has the copyright on it? Can anyone use it?

Why we fight.

I don't know about copyright. I snagged it from somewhere, and put it on my home page. You're welcome to it. As someone said a few posts back, it should be used in the campaign.

Thank you!

I, too, watched and still think about that act of courage.

It was an "in your face", "double dare" you kind of rebuttal to the terrorists, a way to say "we're still here, you didn't scare us". (the flight into Baghdad had to have the same demoralizing effect to the enemy.)

It's nice to see a positive thread about the President on FR.

"right over the plate"

Yes .. he did. And .. in all his years associated with baseball .. it must have given him a thrill to have been able to pitch in a World Series. It could have been a life-long dream fulfilled.

I have a couple of pictures of that pitch .. it was great .. and I was praying for him all the time he was on the field; along with millions of other people.

Happy times. Inauguration Dance. September 11, 2001 was a mere 8 months away. I love our President Bush and our First Lady. I am a Bush-bot and proud of it.

Thank you Wizard. I read Bill Sammon's book, Fighting Back, that chronicles 9-11 and the weeks after. I highly recommend it.

Pinging OWF who has a collection of Pres. Bush pictures to be envied!

Do you one of the President on the mound that night?

If so, thanks!

Well, at least, I do!

[TruthNtegrity]

OOOpsie, I should have kept going!

Sorry, OWF. I didn't see this as I scanned the first page quickly.

[TruthNtegrity]

You know, I think his practicing that was reported, paid off.

The President threw a STRIKE!

Whatta Prez. I love this man..... for so many reasons. Sniff.
