I must agree, but I just read a story in the local paper here about many
WWII Vets who decided not to attend the dedication of this memorial
because they found out they would be seated more than a mile away from
the ceremony.  I didn't know we had that many WWII Vets still among us
and that they would all be attending this service.
It would be interesting to see who got the up-front seating and why.
I'm assuming here but I bet a lot of politicians bumped these vets so
they could be seen and probably heard, leaving the true heroes in the
dark.

Just my 2 cent commentary.

To All,

Since I live in the DC area, I'll break the string about politics and
suffer the wrath...

As Memorial Day approaches, we all need to remember those gallant men
and women who sacrificed their lives for freedom around the world.  If
you ever get to Washington, D.C., a new MUST see is the WW-II Memorial.
It is MAGNIFICENT!!! The architects and designers did a superb with it.
How fitting the 'Official' dedication is this weekend.

Enjoy the holiday,
