Dustin_B Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 The following message is from Lt. Col. Rick Jones, a career U.S. Air Force officer presently stationed at the Pentagon. The event he experienced in a Pentagon cafeteria occurred only this week. His message is as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just witnessed something I don't think I'll ever forget. I was down near the cafeteria in the Pentagon meeting a friend for lunch and I see a very large crowd of people inside. I walk in and soon find myself standing less than three feet away from our Commander-in-Chief and right beside the Secretary of Defense (and a bunch of Secret Service folks). President Bush was walking around shaking hands and thanking all of us for what we do. He kept saying to people "Don't Worry" -- as if to say, I've got it under control. He must have shaken 1000 hands or more. What particularly struck me was his presence - not a particularly large man in stature, but he had an aura of a giant - a smile on his face, yet you can sense he was a man on a mission - a man of purpose and conviction there was just this feeling that he is THE MAN, and he is in charge - he had a quiet confidence that was deafening! Then, a group of folks just behind me started singing God Bless America and, in no time, the entire room - which was packed - was singing the song. It was enough to give anyone goose bumps. If there was a dry eye in the place, I couldn't see it (probably because my eyes weren't too dry). It was just one of those once-in-a-life-time experiences that I shall never forget. After God Bless America, there were a few chants of "USA-USA-USA," followed by a lot of applause. When President Bush finally made his way toward the entrance, he turned with his confident smile and waved at everyone, and the room just erupted in cheers and whistles and applause. I've been to professional football games where the noise wasn't that loud. It was just such a wonderful experience and it made me: 1) So very happy that George W. Bush is our President and Commander-in-Chief. 2) So proud to be an American. Just thought I'd share, Rick Lt. Col Rick Jones HQ USAF/ILMY Quote
iain Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 thank goodness this is page two and no longer have to endure trask's favorite photos Quote
RobBob Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 I seriously think less of those who sit fat, dumb and happy here, while criticising guys who are at this moment having lifetime-size butterflies in their guts, facing great danger. We owe them a sincere salute of appreciation. Quote

freeclimb9 Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 Salt Lake City District Attorney David Yocom said in reference to "alleged" kidnapper Brian David Mitchell, "We're not dealing with a religious zealot. We're dealing with a sexual predator." After the indiscretions of Rev. Jesse Jackson, Jimmy Swaggart, and Jim Baker, that goes without saying. Quote

Off_White Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 Szy, I wouldn't call those who enlisted "weak minded." Military service has replaced all kinds of other college funding, and for many folks, enlisting is the best way to find a route from the life they have to a life they want. The land of opportunity only offers so many opportunities to those with limited resources, and the military is one of the few choices offered. I do think the recruiters tend to gloss over the little issue of possible death and maiming, but you can't make fun of those who joined up because you managed to find a different path. Quote
Billygoat Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 And what is removing Saddam from power going to do for us? Quote

Col Rick Jones HQ USAF/ILMY Funny how President Bush could just show up at the Pentagon totally unannounced and unexpected. Why, you'd think Bush's visit to the Pentagon might have been in the news or something recently. And he showed up just to cruise into the cafeteria and shake some hands? Of course ... This'll get debunked by Snopes soon enough. Quote

I just have deep issues against our countries big brother ways and crap. But then if we didn't do it, who would? Either way, I am proud to be an American, Lucky too. Quote
