This was forwarded to me by a friend of mine. I think it speaks
volumes.
I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as our government
underwent a peaceful transition of power. I was proud as Mr. Bush took
his oath of office. I was sad as I watched Mr. Clinton board Air Force
One for the final time.
It may surprise you that this made me sad, but watching this part of the
days festivities, I saw 21 US Marines, in full dress, with rifles, fire
a 21 gun salute to the outgoing president. It was then that I realized
how far America's military had deteriorated. Every last one of them
missed.
