Happy 4th Of July America!

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming!

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallently streaming!

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there!

O SAY DOES THAT STAR-SPANGLED BANNER YET WAVE

O'ER THE LAND OF THE FREE,

AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE!

NBC News Host Tim Russert Passes Away!

Tim Russert, NBC News Host, has collapsed and passed away at work today. He was one of the people I enjoyed watching him on TV when ever I managed to watch TV.
My heart felt sympathies to his family and colleagues.

"Tim Russert, NBC News’ Washington bureau chief and the moderator of “Meet the Press,” died Friday after a sudden heart attack at the bureau, NBC News said Friday. He was 58.

Russert was recording voiceovers for Sunday’s “Meet the Press” program when he collapsed, the network said. No details were immediately available.

Russert, the recipient of 48 honorary doctorates, took over the helm of “Meet the Press” in December 1991. Now in its 60th year, “Meet the Press” is the longest-running program in the history of television.

In 2008, Time Magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Timothy John Russert Jr. was born in Buffalo, N.Y., on May 7, 1950. He was a graduate of Canisius High School, John Carroll University and the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. He was a member of the bar in New York and the District of Columbia."

Mosaic Of Casualties Of War

America, People We See
Mosaic Of Casualties Of War is created by NY Times and although sad it reminds you of these people who died and a little information about them presented in an all in one mosaic. Some of you may not agree with war, some of you may support the war and yet some may be neutral about it. The theme is not to discuss the politics of these. It is to remind us of these people that no longer around us to SEE. Families missing Fathers or/and Mothers, Mothers missing Daughters or/and Sons. I just cannot fathom the pain this war has created in peoples lives. May all you rest in peace.
You can find the Mosaic here.
