He may not go down in history as one of our greatest Presidents, but I always thought of him as a man of integrity. <BR/>I am so happy, too, to see the tributes today to our veterans that they so richly deserve. Such a change from my youth, when soldiers returned from Vietnam!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-42212372252647089682008-11-11T19:36:00.000-05:002008-11-11T19:36:00.000-05:00Thank you all for sharing in the memory of this im...Thank you all for sharing in the memory of this important day. Regarding the photo, the casket is that of the late Gerald Ford, thirty-eighth President of the United States, a long time Michigan resident whose life was filled with love of God, family and service to our country (Navy during World War II). Layered behind is a faint poppy and forward, the flag of this great country.joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569378877717221045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-74063234579041018012008-11-11T15:50:00.000-05:002008-11-11T15:50:00.000-05:00An inspiring and thoughtful post, Joey.
