A Gift From The Russian People

Message 705 of 3012

A gift from the people of Russia. Why has this not been reported to the American people. Did the Cold War never end?

The "Teardrop" memorial is real and is a 100-foot September 11th sculpture that was donated by the Russian people and is located in New Jersey.

The memorial was dedicated on September 11, 2006 in a ceremony attended by former President Bill Clinton. Also in attendance were Michael Chertoff, the Bush Administration Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, and family members of World Trade Center victims. Recording artist Leann Rimes sang the National Anthem and Amazing Grace at the dedication ceremony.

The Memorial is in Bayonne, N.J. It is inscribed with the names of the 911 victims.

The Obama's made donation. I would have been rude and cruel to refuse Senator's Kennedy's offering. He is a dying man. I think the Obama's showed compassion for Senator Kennedy, and they gave something back, protected their children from allergies. Sounds pretty wise to me.

I have a stray dog. He was abused, is now dociles with us, but I am still afraid to put him in the car to got to vet. He cannot stand enclosure and won't even eat when we watch, yet so loving. I'm trying to get some of the local hunters to give him his shots.

It's like everyone in the neighborhood knows I'm a sucker and leave their strays. While I take in strays I would have done the same in this case.

It's a darling puppy, now let's get back to business. The world is in a mess and our president is doing his very best to resolve it!
