Politics are not good for ones health!

Today, I am expressing discontent with both my President, and some of my fellow Americans.  Monday is Memorial Day.  As a veteran who spent 8 years on active duty, and as a military wife who is called on to kiss my husband goodbye and let him walk into harm's way at a moment's notice, Memorial Day has special meaning to me. 

Arlington National Cemetery also has special meaning to me and many active duty members and veterans worldwide.  It's not just a place - it's a symbol of all who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy in this country.  It is where people I personally know, and those who I never had to fortune of knowing but am connected to by virtue of our being comrades in arms, are laid to rest.

Since 1992, when we were not at war, on only one occasion has an American President foregone the Memorial Day Service at Arlington National Cemetery.  That was when President Bush joined Veterans Affairs Secretary Anthony Principi, Secretary of State Colin Powell, and a bipartisan congressional delegation for services at the American cemetery in Normandy, France, honoring those who paid the ultimate sacrifice on D-Day on the beaches at Normandy.  The joint visit of this grooup
