That Thanksgiving when the president made a surprise visit to Baghdad, before it was announced, there was a thread on FR from a soldier/Freeper who we knew was in Iraq and he said he'd just had dinner with a very important person but couldn't tell us for a a half hour.

As it turned out he had to wait until the president cleared air space over Baghdad. This soldier was SO excited that it almost came through the computer screen.

All the blessings of the holiday.

We'll never forget the electricity of that night, will we. Historic, nerve jangling, spine tingling, shock and tears of joy everywhere, and obvious respect and gratitude from the troops.

Check out the dome .. LOL^^

Unforgettable day, and so great that we were sharing it and getting the tip almost first hand .. it truly was an amazing and historic technological milestone.

I just got back to the thread and saw your post about the thread the actual day President Bush sneaked into Baghdad...

Dang...I would love to have been here on FR that day...that soldier must have just about burst having to hold that news in...

So, did ya'll hear it from him...or on the TV/radio news?

Happy Thanksgiving to you to!!!
