My husband just deployed to Baghdad in August and is over there for a year. I asked him what they were doing for 9/11…they have formations and have 2 minutes of silence at full salute. One minute for each of the towers. Can you just imagine how emotional that is? You take over 5000 troops on his base and have every one of them in formation, full attention, it gives me chills just thinking about it. Im so proud of him and all of our other soldiers. God Bless every single one of them and never forget what they are fighting for.

This D.C. thing is looking very impressive!  Thousands already there and they just keep coming!

Beck can be a little over the top for me, plus he can depress the hell out of a guy.  But, he is like a bulldog with a bone.  He ain’t turning loose.

He has done a lot to shake up Obama’s Czar world and could end up taking down ACORN.  Most networks don’t even follow these stories.

They sure have been on Glen’s case for the last few weeks because of his outspokenness.Sponsors withdrawing from his program and such.I watch him occasionally when I feel like getting riled upped about the situation of the nation and politics in general.

Yeah, thousands of people are pouring into Washington to let their voices be heard.  I think Glenn Beck will have a 3 hour special this afternoon.

Oyea! I remember now.The tea partiers in D.C.!

I vaguely remember a little about the gathering in D.C. but not all.You’ll have to refresh my memory on it.I’ve been out of commission for a while with this flu and trying to get back up to full speed.Just been laying around and trying to confine myself to keep from spreading it.Must of picked it up from one of the babies since they like to share anything I’m drinking.They are the world’s worst about picking something up at school and shareing it with you.grin
Was this gathering about the health care programs?

I follow a few people on twitter and read the thing, but I don’t have much to contribute.

Looks like a very good sized crowd is already gathering in D.C.  Glad to see that.

Might be over loaded at this time and the servers have all they can handle.I looked all over WKRG yesterday for anything relating to Commemorating 911 and found nothing until Chad posted this report later in the day on it.A bit disappointing but I did see it mentioned earlier on twitter.I’m gonna have to learn how to twitter now I guess.A different meaning now than it use to be when you reffered to someone as a twit.grin

Thoese were a couple of tributes made to commemorate 9/11.  Pretty good, but very dramatic.
