I'm sure that some would like to do that for the Great Pretender I am NOT one of them. IMHO a ride on a rail with a feather coat would be more appropriate.:beerchug:Quote:

Lets not forget his inaugration. The dimocrats were whining about the expense of the one Bush had, and then they turned the messiah's into a combination of a Roman circus and a elevation to sainthood!!!!:madsmile:
Some rather smart looking troops in those formations. No, we don't trot out our divisions for practically anything except an inauguration or state funderal. Of course, we don't have nearly the heritage to put on parade now, do we? Perhaps one day we'll catch up. I will never forget THIS display in front of Buckingham Palace on 9/13/2001. My parents were "trapped" in the U.K until air flights resumed and were taken care of by the British people. Very nice indeed.
