Saw this at LGF:
  • Here’s an excellent way to do something concrete for America this Memorial Day, and really help those who have sacrificed the most: by donating to Wounded Warriors. I just gave them $100.
Bush Pays Tribute to War Dead at Arlington

Excerpts:
  • Published: May 29, 2006

    ARLINGTON, Va., May 29 — President Bush paid homage to the nation's fallen military veterans today, using his annual Memorial Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery to draw a link between those who fought in an earlier era and those killed in Iraq and Afghanistan in the latest conflicts.

    ....Seeking to draw a connection to wars past, the president quoted from two parallel letters written more than half a century apart — the first by a soldier who died two weeks after D-Day and the other killed by a terrorist bomb last September in the Iraqi city of Ramadi.

    In the first letter, a second lieutenant named Jack Lundberg wrote his parents to say, "The United States of America is worth the sacrifice."
Someone alerted me to the fact that the President signed a bill prohibiting white trash such as Fred Phelps from protesting at military funerals (Yahoo News):
  • .... The president spoke after laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns. He ventured across the Potomac River on a sun-splashed Memorial Day just a short time after signing into law a bill that restricts protests at military funerals.

    At the White House, Bush signed the "Respect for America's Fallen Heroes Act," passed by Congress largely in response to the activities of a Kansas church group [Fred Phelps] that has staged protests at military funerals around the country, claiming the deaths symbolized God's anger at U.S. tolerance of homosexuals.

    The new law bars protests within 300 feet of the entrance of a national cemetery and within 150 feet of a road into the cemetery. This restriction applies an hour before until an hour after a funeral. Those violating the act would face up to a $100,000 fine and up to a year in prison.

    Monday's observance at Arlington National Cemetery was not a funeral, so demonstrators were free to speak their minds at the site. Bush's motorcade passed several on the way in, including a small group that held signs saying, "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "God hates fags."

    Approximately 10 people from the Washington, D.C., chapter of FreeRepublic.com, a self-styled grass roots conservative group, stood across the road with signs supporting U.S. troops. A large sign held by several people said, "God bless our troops, defenders of freedom, American heroes."

    ....The FreeRepublic.com group was trying to counter demonstrations by the Kansas-based group, led by the Rev. Fred Phelps.

    .... In an interview when the House passed the bill that Bush signed Monday, Phelps accused Congress of "blatantly violating" his First Amendment rights. He said that if it became law, he would continue to demonstrate but would abide by the law's restrictions.
