ohioW, welcome back from your excellent adventure. Thanks for the ping to the report.

On the thread topic: What a moving tribute this was to our warriors.

I am going to comment on this even though certain others find it tasteless to comment on this. This neckline is especially lovely with Laura's face. I hope she wears this type again.

After being apart for 10 days, I am sure there were!!!!!

Welcome back Ohio. Congratulations to your daughter on her graduation. These four year sure went fast, didn't they?

Rintense, these are wonderful pictures. The ceremony was so moving this morning. I wish we could have seen the ceremony from Saint-Mere L'Eglise. If you notice in the pictures from there, the large church in the background, there is a parachute on the roof. The French have kept one there to honor the memory of the Airborne troops who landed in their town. One of the Airborne troops got their parachute caught in the spire upon landing - and sadly was killed by the German troops. They haven't forgotten the sacrifice.

Freedom, your Proverbs are wonderful. I don't always thank you for posting them, but I always am grateful.

Just wanted to say thanks for another wonderful Dose ..

Gretchen, 99% of the Dose Posters LOVE to see the posts commenting on our lovely Laura's wardrobe. I don't think it's demeaning at all. We all know that she is beautiful because she has a beautiful heart and soul. There is nothing in the world wrong with admiring the beauty that God has blessed her with. And there is nothing wrong with admiring the handsomeness of our President. His beauty comes from within too. So just ignore the poopers who have come along lately and tried to crash the party.

I love that neckline too. Very flattering. :-)

Lovely pictures. It is so nice to see that our President respects the honored dead of Normandy and D-Day. I have to admit that the image of another president walking among the graves for a "Photo-op" in 1994 did cross my mind. Today the "spirits" rested in Normandy with pride in their President.

I'm glad you mentioned the parachute. I have a memory of seeing a movie about WWII when I was just a child .... way back in Olden Days when families went to the drive-in together. The only thing I remember about the movie is the shot of a paratrooper getting his 'chute caught on the spire of a church and his hanging there helplessly for a long time. I was thinking that it was part of that first invasion into France but wasn't sure. Your post has confirmed my distant memory.

Bush Tells Europe It Is Time To Repay Debt To America

Thanks for the link. According to a poster, that soldier did not die. But I was sure I heard on our tour in Normandy that one of them caught on the spire did die. I could be wrong. So many did die, it's heartbreaking. The gesture is lovely, just the same.

Thanks, you're as always, a sweetie-pie!!!!

[GretchenEE]

Back when Hec was a pup I saw that WW 2 movie also, and it scared the snickers out of me. I, too, remember that paratrooper stuck atop the church. That's all I remember about it.

Oh, yeah, and son #1, majoring in International Relations and Political Science told us on the way home that he is seriously considering applying for a job in the CIA when he graduates! Wild, huh?

Congrats on your daughter; great job. And as for your #1 son, well the CIA can use some good people right now! I hope he goes for it!!

[SuziQ]

And even if I can't see his face, I know that's my dear son-in-law Harry, holding the American Flag in the honor guard!!

Too bad we can't see him! But what an honor for HIM to be able to be there at that historic event!

[SuziQ]

Hmmmmm.......doesn't look to me like all the Europeans hate the President!

Seems we have some French 'Bush Babes'!

[SuziQ]

This neckline is especially lovely with Laura's face. I hope she wears this type again.

She chooses her clothes well. They are always tasteful, lovely and complement her figure and coloring very well.

She is a wonderful representative for our nation, and I'm proud she's our First LADY!

[Salvation]

I saw two TV news blabberers today sniffing and sneering that this is the first President ever to be out of the country on Memorial Day

But he wasn't. Bush #41 was also out of the country on Memorial Day. I think he was in Italy.

Proving once again that the media will twist the truth any old way they have to just to fit their agenda. I was disgusted with their pettiness. Now I'm even more disgusted because it's a lie. I'm glad you brought this to our attention.
