 |
| Check out President "Cool" with Senator Dole!!! Senator Dole had a great speech and he got a standing ovation!!! The President got a half of a standing ovation!!! (I wasn't standing!!!!) |
| I never did catch up to Rolling Thunder National and I was sad that I missed them. They know that I am counting the days to see them again at Rolling Thunder XIV!!!! I was so glad that I got to see the groundbreaking ceremoney and witness history!!!! I hope to be able to be in D.C. when they dedicate the Memorial!!! |
 |
| Of course the very next place that we went was to The Wall. We stopped at the Women's Memorial first so that I could honor the women who served!! |
 |
| Then we went to The Wall. I left something for all of my adopted POW/MIA's and told them that they will never be forgotten. This is me touching the name of Sgt. Arlie Mangus. I usually wear a small American Flag on my hat, wait until you see what I did with it. |
