I wish I’d have found out sooner, some buddies of mine from the 1st Cav are talking about getting together this year in Texas for the 20th anniversary, unfortunately not until February or March. Personally, I’d like to hear Dick Cheney speak. My mother, a lifelong Democrat, voted for George W. because she liked Dick Cheney so much. (go figure) She said every time he gave a press conference she felt like everything was going to be okay.
