YEAH-

'bout time.. I just hope Joe C. is there, and has Gator/Croc coins in his pocket.. one for Bruce, and one for George.

My son had a fleeting shot at coining Dubya a couple of weeks ago, but it just wasn't in the stars-

The Prez visited Micron Technologies, a major
microelectonics manufacturer in Manassas, VA- where Lumpy02 is a Team Leader in emergency Response/HAZMAT. Mike spent a couple of hours on the roof with the countersniper team, then was in a "clean room" when Dubya visited- The President
saw Mike through a large window, and could, due to the window's size and location, ONLY see Mike.
The President gave My Boy a crisp salute, which Mike duly returned with vigor. He shortly thereafter escorted the entourage from the area, but, sadly, didn't get close enough to have given Dubya the coin in his pocket- the Salute MADE HIS LIFE, but the coining just wasn't meant to be that day.

I, in his shoes, if successful, would have admonished the President to pull his coin on the current CJCS, whom I had the honor of coining with it.

whew......
