| Thanks for adding a couple of well- chosen "cents"<g>. I am gratified by your response....We went to the beach for a week, then puttered around the house for a week (for example, going to the National Gallery). I spent a lot of time watching various ceremonies. I contributed a lot to the WWII memorial, but didn't get tickets because I had no living GI to bring. (My late father- in- law was the chief of the clerical staff at SHAEF, a personal aide to Eisenhower, and received a Bronze Star for meritorious service in his managerial capacity). So I watched a lot, some before leaving. Then, when I got back, it was time for the D- Day commemoration. (Meanwhile, at the beach, I caught a couple of movie's, such as "The Longest Day"). Finally, I had to watch the various ceremonies for the Gipper. I was afraid of getting ill in the long, hot lines, although one of my brothers made it to the Rotunda, but I saw just about everything. Thatcher had a great tribute, of course......... |
