Our Father who art in Obama
I have never seen anything like it. Today for only 39.95 I could have picked up the new Obama commemorative coin with JFK on the other side. Of course it is "layered" in 24K gold what ever that means and is legal tender (in Liberia).
Most people are saying Obama's biggest challenge… Continue

Recently, I saw some civilian video footage from that day and when it was over, I got the worst stomach ache in the world and I felt like vomiting.
Even after all these years, I was even more upset than I was when it initially took place. Someone approached me today in the freeweight room at my healthclub and told me he is Iraqi and that he was born and raised over there. My stomach sank and everyone within earshot took off. He then proceeded to take out
a Military I.D. and mentioned that he has been serving the Army for over 20 years. I'm sure I need not explain to you how I felt after that.

I AM VERY INTERESTED IN THAT BUGLES ACROSS AMERICA.
MILITARY BABE
I remember being at home waiting for a delivery and watching the first plane hit the first tower and knowing at that point we were under attack. I recall the sickening feeling in my stomach as the day progressed. I remember the following weeks and the waves of inexplicable emotional responses to the funerals and memorials. However what I remember the most is how we as a nation are so capable of setting aside our differences in a time of crisis and pulling together as one. We are so diverse and individual and yet we all have a common bond in our love for this great country of ours.
Today I was poignantly reminded of a story I witnessed which swept me with waves of emotions from tears to goosebumps. That was the post 9-11 World Series. Now all you Bush haters can tune out now if you want, but if he did anything right while in the White House this was one of them. Now this was probably one of the finest series of baseball I have ever witnessed. The Yankees showed more heart than any other team I had ever seen. Nobody really remembers who won that series what was memorable was how hard the Yankees fought back late in the game every night. It went all seven games. Now back to Bush. Here we are it is less than a month after 9-11 and the President takes the mound to throw out the first pitch. The crowd is chanting USA..USA...USA.. Rumor has it Derek Jeter told the President that if he did not throw a strike the Yankee fans would boo him. :-) The President takes the mound and the moment becomes more than just the traditional first pitch. It is the biggest FU we could send to the terrorists. It is us saying we will carry on, and you will not divert us from our path. Well I'll be damned if that bastard doesn't just hurl a heavy handed split fingered fast ball right over the effing plate. He throws a strike and a pretty darn good one at that. The crowd just erupts in cheers.
That series was more than just a bunch of grown men throwing around balls and hitting them with sticks. For a moment in time baseball transcended from being a simple game, and became a national diversion from our pain. It was a reminder that life goes on, and that we will continue to thrive as a nation. I remember.....
