Great article, Doug!

We are trying to remember at our house--maybe someone can help with a link? I seem to have heard (correct me if I'm wrong) that another carrier crew was kind of jealous of W's visit to the Lincoln, and wish their ship had been the one to have hosted him.

Anybody else remember this?

Outstanding work Doug!

We all thank you!

I hope President Bush dons SCUBA gear and submerges in the surf off Coronado to thank the SEALS.
I hope President Bush parachutes into Ft Bragg to thank the 82nd.
I hope President Bush sets up a clandestine meeting to thank the CIA operatives.
I hope President Bush puts on a balaclava and fast ropes out of a BlackHawk to thank the Special Operators.
I hope President Bush gets into a HUMVEE and barrels into Ft Hood to thank the 4ID.
But mostly-
I hope President Bush ignores the demands of the Democrat Party to stop honoring the military.

OK, new tactic by the Rats. Now they are blaming this on Karl Rove and accusing the President of "showboating." (Just heard this in an interview with Raymond Strother on Fox.)

Of course, while Strother was talking and pontificating, Fox showed the landing again. Heheheh.

[Miss Marple]

Hey! I like those ideas! Especially the SCUBA gear!! LOL!

[Grampa Dave]

This is great!

Anyone who has ever been in the NAVY knows this is true.

Michael, also, points out that the ship docked on time and was not delayed in his thread. Just more proof of how the rats who hate America lie!

Thanks for the link to Michael's report, I went on over and paid tribute to his son.

Not a "custom fittd" flight suite. The only people that have those are the pretty airshow boys, and that flight suite he was wearing, that thing was in no way custom fitted---unless you count the following:
Life Support Technition: "Sir, what chest size are you?"
POTUS: "About a 46"
LST: "You wear Regular or Large Jackets?"
POTUS: "Regular"
LST: "You are probably a Long"
POTUS: "Yup"
LST: "Here take this 46 Regular Long"
POTUS: "Gotcha"
So, based upon the conversation above, I guess you can say it was "custom fitted," but you can't say it was "tailor made" (as is the implication on the part of the rats).

archive - I understand it costs $6000/hour to fly the Viking. That is $7 an hour more than flying Marine 1 (a helicopter). But, because the Viking flies faster than the helicopter, it actually cost less because of the shorter flying time.

Settle down, girls.

This is one of my favorite pics from a movie I love called "The Rght Stuff". It depicts an American hero named Chuck Yeager. Another real man.

The Dems. are pissed because George W. Bush has the right stuff. And he is a real man.

[Cordova Belle]

BTTT! Hope this gets WIDE coverage!!!

[Grampa Dave]

We are proud of our freeper, Michael SF, like he is proud of his son!

You forgot the dialogue.

Wasn't it something like an observer seeing him in the distance asks, "Is that a man?"

And the answer, "Oh, yeah, that's a man!"

Or something.
