While the vacation that never ends begins again, our troops are asking for common everyday items , like soap, chapstick, socks ,foot powder , and food . Why do they not have these items ? Didn't have them under bush either .

Click on 'where to send ' on the website .

I know this one is legit, because I used it and got back replys from a heli pilot who is now passed away with 17 others when two crashed into each other . This was in Mosul in 2006 .

I ditto that. I'm taking my children to pay respect to our small cemetary in which many local servicemen and women are laid to rest. We have already held a community wide clean up for the cemetary earlier last month. We must teach the younger generations to show respect and honor for all of our soldiers.

How does Obama look at himself in the mirror each morning? Any liberals care to offer up an explanation for this Great Act of Narcissistic Retardation?
Not only that he is a buffoon

snopes.com: President Obama Not Laying Wreath on Memorial Day?

For those who prefer not to click on the link:

In 2002, President George W. Bush was in France on Memeorial Day and participated in ceremonies at Normady (site of the D-Day landings) honoring US soldiers who fought and died in World War II.

President George H. W. Bush (himself a World War II veteran) attended no ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery during his four years in office.

President Ronald Reagan was away from Arlington on four occasions during his eight years in office:. . . .


Bill Clinton never missed a Memorial Day at Arlington.

Apparently, we didn't even get to hear from the CiC today. I heard his event was cancelled due to thunder storms.
