The apartment where I live has cable TV and CNN is on the system, so I was able to watch the President’s message live. How great is that!
Living overseas, a person feels disconnected from life in the US so it is great to be able to witness events like this take place…live on TV no less!

I was very moved when Bush acknowledged the lady from Iraq who had voted on Sunday, but I almost cried when he acknowledged the mother and father whose son died in the war in Iraq. It was incredible to watch this mother hug the woman from Iraq. I watched as Bush was choked up by the event that unfolded for all who were watching.

Still living the adventure in Karaganda,
Joe
