 Posted: 05/27/05 - 13:12 Post subject: President Bush mentions my GF's son
during the commencement speech at the Naval Academy today:
File: Bush USNA Transcript 27 May 05
WASHINGTON, May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is a transcript of
remarks by President Bush at United States Naval Academy Commencement:
Navy Marine Corps Memorial Stadium
Annapolis, Maryland
10:12 A.M. EDT
.....The midshipmen I addressed here four years ago are now serving bravely in
this struggle. The new officers who sat in the chairs where you now sit could
not have known that their strength and character would be tested so soon. In
the last four years, they've met every test, and overcome every challenge.
And they are setting a lasting example of courage for the classes that follow.
...........Sitting in the crowd that day was Midshipman Josh ******. He would soon risk his life in the city of Fallujah, fighting through a half-mile of enemy territory to rescue a platoon of Marines pinned down by insurgents. Josh says: "They had casualties and a Marine who had been killed. We were shooting 360 degrees." Josh and his men recovered that fallen Marine, and saved the platoon, and helped us win a critical battle in the war on terror.......
(you probably know that I didn't vote for the guy, but we won't go there right now......)

That's cool in a lot of ways, but in a lot of ways, wish he didn't have to ever be mentioned.

I know....it's pretty conflicting for me to be dating someone with a son in harms way.....I just hope he hurries up and gets home safe.....he's been there 3 times and won't have to go again.....
