It’s a little late in the day but as this is President Bush’s final Veteran’s Day address (excerpts) I felt it was fitting to post it:

It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. ~Dick Cheney

Please take a moment to offer up a prayer for the Anchoress, her husband, and their children:

Spent all of today in the company of nurses, cardiologists, and so forth with my dear husband, who had mild-but-persistent chest pains over the weekend. They had “mostly” abated by this morning, and he was preparing to travel, but I couldn’t see my way to letting him get on a plane with chest pain “mostly” gone, and insisted that we get things checked out.

Things are less conclusive than we’d like - not a heart attack, thankfully, but whether he’s headed for one is another question. He, of course, is insisting that he’s a he-man and “completely fine with a little indisposition, okay, maybe angina…” I am not over-reacting but I’m not at-ease, either, and more tests are needed later this week. If you could keep us all in your prayers, that we get through this bump in the road without overturning the cart, we’d appreciate it.

Thanks.
