You're all very welcome for the Daily Dose Proverbs - which has now become the Daily Dose Psalm. But without the Daily Dose - these would not be there - so, rintense - once again - thank you for this faithful posting of these fantastic pictures.

And, deep gratitude to those who will be praying for my loved one (a sibling) in their marriage. God's grace, mercy, peace, and love - and guidance - is needed there in a big way - and is already THERE. We have an awesome God and without Him - and the light of His Word - our way would be all darkness.

Just like President Bush's face reflects the light of God's presence in his life.....so it is for all of us if we just spend time with Him in prayer.

Hokay - end of sermon. Hope everyone has a blessed day. And, thank you for your dear friendships.

Thank you all for your comments!! I can't wait to talk to him when he gets back today, and find out all about his experience.

I am so proud and pleased that President Bush was in France, speaking at the grave site of so many of our wonderful young men on Memorial Day. Reminding those ignorant Europeans of the horrible consequences of appeasing totalitarians.

The reason the President's speech is so moving is because we KNOW that our freedoms have come at terrible costs. Those young lives, ended so that we can live in peace and safety.

And young lives this very moment being risked so that we can live our very ordinary, safe lives each and every day. God bless our president and each member of our military.

I've decided to e-mail Gregory, and include that picture, as you suggested. (What a great idea!)

Anyway, do you happen to have his e-mail address?

The only way to truly 'get to know' the Lord is by spending time with Him. In prayer, in His Word, and allowing him to work in our hearts.

Thank you again and again, Freedom, for your faithful offering of scripture. May it tend to the hearts of those who need Him...which is all of us. :o) <><

Your brother or sister has been added to my prayer list. I know this must be tearing you apart, Freedom, and I will pray for you, too.

Somehow I have fallen off your ping list, and would love to be included in the list again. I look forward each day to your inspirational messages. Thank you!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

You are welcome - and thank you (for the prayers - They are for a dear sister). Marylina, I will get you back on the Psalms Ping List - don't know what happened there. Glad they are a benefit and a blessing. They are to me too!

The pictures of Bush walking amidst all those crosses just gave me goose bumps. He's so majestic in their midst. Thank God for our men and women who sacrificed so that we could be free.

Great--lots of pictures of Frenchies trying to shake President Bush's hands. Are there photos of Bush b*tch-slapping David "Major League Clymer" Gregory?

The photos of President Bush in Normandy were wonderful to see and knowing that one of our own was so close at hand in the honor guard was an extra treat! I can't wait to hear about Harry's experience! He needs to write an account!

[eleni121]

Wow! Who needs TV when the superb photos here reveal the essence of what is happening. I especially note the integrity of the President as he moves through the ranks of the heroes at the cemetery. And Berlusconi's warm Italian hug displays the progress and reform that conservatives are bringing to Europe. Just in time after eight years of decay and corruption.

I cannot end without referring to the greatest of all (at least in the 20th century): Ronald Reagan without whom none of this would have been possible. Had he not stood firm in the eighties...well who knows what would have been?

[Betteboop]

Harry is home now and called us to tell about it (I was at the supermarket, as usual)so he spoke to his father-in-law. He still walking on air!!!! Said the Sgt Maj took photos and he will send them to us on a CD. I'll post the good ones!!!

[Betteboop]

One thing Harry did mention was that the press was really obnoxious there. The guys in the honor guard were trying to get in the the area where they had to dress and get ready and the press was clogging up the entrance and not letting them through. They said, we are the Press and have to get in. The honor guard said: We are the honor guard and have to get in. The Secret Service got them in, much to the chagrin of the Press!!!!!

[kayak]

Bette ~~~ we are eagerly awaiting your full report ...... and pictures! Yahoooooooo!!!!!

IMO, the press is obnoxious EVERYWHERE so it doesn't surprise me that they acted that way at Normandy.

[Betteboop]

As soon as I speak to Harry I'll report or I will e-mail him for details. Pictures will take a little longer. He has to get them from the Sgt Major.

[Miss Marple]

Once again we have first-hand proof that the weasels of the press need to be taken down a peg or two. Whoever told these people that they were that important?

[kayak]

The characters in their mirrors???

Could you imagine # 42 in here?

Don't have to imagine, just remember. For example the staged photo op with the cross made out of white rocks, supposedly "found on the beach, but in reality placed there by an aide. However I try not to dredge up those memories without a barf bag handy.

[El Gato]

I, too, remember that paratrooper stuck atop the church. That's all I remember about it.

I'm sure it was "The Longest Day". It's available in most video rental stores. It's a long movie, and takes two tapes in the video tape version. It was the "Saving Private Ryan" of it's day. ALthough it had many more big name stars in it, and was if anything a much bigger production. John Wayne being the foremost of the big stars. Red Buttons, quite well known at the time, played the paratrooper who got hung up on the church. Other stars ranged from Henry Fonda (as Theodore Roosevelt's son), to Eddie Albert (later on Green Acres) and included Fabian, and other up and comers, some of whom fizzle and others who went on to become big stars. It also included non American Actors, Germans as well as French and British. Sean Connery was one of those, playing a common, if somewhat cynical, soldier.
