Yes, it was on the back of a semi but it was still an unusual site. I imagine that the walls of the freeway would block the view of the semi and people looking on would just see the tank barreling down the highway.markhnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07093257264296534672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011528072573771541.post-47209350571042627162009-05-09T14:01:00.000-04:002009-05-09T14:01:00.000-04:00I love Sinatra's version best, but the song ironic...I love Sinatra's version best, but the song ironically first appeared as an instrumental in the movie of the same name.Daryle Pompeonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011528072573771541.post-69770825200678480872009-05-09T14:00:00.000-04:002009-05-09T14:00:00.000-04:00Gentlemen, gentlemen! ...

I just do not think our waterfront is the place for these "hulking weapons of war" (great phrase!). I cannot get to the mountains of W. Va. or the blue sky of New Mexico every day. The Buffalo waterfront is what I see and I wish it were prettier!Mary Kunz Goldmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691118577179541037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011528072573771541.post-29807281841190567712009-05-09T13:59:00.002-04:002009-05-09T13:59:00.002-04:00Yo Mark, grant me permission to remark on your com...Yo Mark, grant me permission to remark on your comment: Has anyone ever tangled with the notion that these military parks and museums exist not to glorify our history at war, but to remind us of how devastating these hulking weapons of war can be. When I venture into a Holocaust museum or display, I am overwhelmed with the fact that humans ... Read Moreactually did these kind of things to other humans. I don't suggest to the curators to hide that stuff away in closets.....<br /><br />If you want a testament to "peace and beauty," take a drive through the mountains of West Virginia, or stand on a hill top in our Adirondacks, or admire the deep blue sky that's over your head near White Sands New Mexico, or sit on the ledge at MLK park in Buffalo and watch the families grilling, hugging and laughing together on a summer Sunday afternoon.<br /><br />I am thankful that in America we have always had men and women willing to join and pick up arms to defend us and these beautiful places I speak of.Robertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011528072573771541.post-32933329572064819752009-05-09T13:59:00.001-04:002009-05-09T13:59:00.001-04:00Great question.

'Blessed are the Peacemakers.' Folks like Gandhi, ML King Jr., Mother Theresa, Jimmy Carter, etc. I too am grateful for all our troops have done to protect us, but why do we mark our history by wars instead of by accomplishments of peace and beauty?Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011528072573771541.post-59646330216822879342009-05-09T13:58:00.000-04:002009-05-09T13:58:00.000-04:00You be greatful when those Canadian's make a run f...You be greatful when those Canadian's make a run for our boarder.Matthewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011528072573771541.post-73272762185575351162009-05-08T13:49:00.000-04:002009-05-08T13:49:00.000-04:00Your military stuff is impressive but it pales in ...Your military stuff is impressive but it pales in light of what we are used to seeing here in Norfolk, VA.
