21 Gun Salute

I got this one from one of my friends in CA. He is a reservist in the US Air Force:

I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as our government underwent a peaceful transition of power in January 2001.

At first, I felt a swell of pride and patriotism as I watched George W.Bush take his oath of office. However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched William Jefferson Clinton board Air Force One for the last time.

I saw 21 Marines, in full dress uniform with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the outgoing president. It was then that I realized how far America's military had deteriorated under Clinton.

Every last one of them missed.

Thanks, Bill that's a good one.
