1. thanks for posting that - a wonderful tribute for Veteran's Day

[iamjoy]

2. Very Touching

Of course, my favorite part was when they gave Obama the jerseys and said his was #2 because his wife was #1. LOL.

3. How can President Obama

witness this, and then send more kids to Afghanistan to be
killed and crippled? The poorest nation on earth... The vast
majority of 9-11 "hijackers" came from from our
"ally", Saudi Arabia. Afghanistan has no money but
many victims that want to protect their home.

4. No women playing

What's Obama's problem with women vets? :sarcasm:

5. It's the heartwarming moments like this that makes a person realize it's going to be OK in the end.
