FOXNews.com - Politics - Bush Commemorates VJ Day
SAN DIEGO — "President Bush on Tuesday commemorated the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II by stressing the importance of winning the War on Terror and drawing similarities between the wars then and now.
Speaking mainly to a military audience in Coronado, Calif., Bush repeated a formula he used last week in two speeches aimed at rebuilding support for the war in Iraq and likened the challenges of today's war to the long-sought victory in the 1940s."
A warm and sincere thank you to all WWII Veterans for a job well done. There are no actions above and beyond the call of duty, for duty is a demanding mistress, yet time after time those brave men came close to the elusive 110% that is so blithely bandied about these days. The old saw says that if you can read these words, then thank a teacher. If you can read these words in English, then thank a Veteran.
And I won't even get into who the President spoke to AFTER he "mainly" talked to the military audience, but here's how the NY TIMES reported upon this significant event:
Bush Commemorates World War II on Anniversary
Sorry, pinkies, but the commemoration was in remembering VJ-Day. VICTORY... a difficult word to associate with the hated US Military, I know... OVER...yes we imposed our political will over someone, how horrid...JAPAN...those poor, poor orientals who deserved better.
