All Kerry could do today was his usual 'Bash Bush' ad. He just could not save a day for the WWII vets. Here is a fact no one on the news seemed to mention:

The turning point for the memorial's completion came three years ago, when Bush signed legislation nullifying a court challenge and a federal commission's plan for still more public hearings to follow the 20 already held. Surprised

If the commision continued the Vets. would probably all be dead before they could decide. Kinda sounds like Kerry -can't make a decision. Smile

It was a beautiful dedication - and I'm so glad that these vets were recognized before they're all gone.

They were the greatest generation!

Highlight for me was watching the faces of those great Americans as the U.S. Navy Band played a medley of the Richard Rodgers score for "Victory At Sea". Just hearing that music catapaults me back to my early 50's youth, when the "Greatest Generation" was getting on with the business of building this great country after the trauma and personal sacrifices of freeing half the globe from the would-be tyrants and despots.

I keep waiting for the "Victory at Sea" series to return to TV.

For those who may not be aware, there is a web site for the WWII Memorial. Towards the bottom of the home page is a link to a Registry of Vets that have been included in the Registry. It appears that many are not registered. If you know of someone that should be there but is not, please take a few minutes to included them. Its free. All registrations are reviewed prior to being posted. The site is:
