I'm sorry you missed it, Mary. Hopefully someone taped it, and will be able to give you a copy.

Her remarks seemed thought out, but not scripted, like Kerry's were. I liked that about this memorial. It was grassroots, not too formal. Like I said, compared with the big thing at Arlington with Bush, it really was lovely. A lot of that has to do with the site itself being surrounded by the trees, a smaller space, that sort of thing.

Gen. Kennedy's remarks (BTW, the woman who introduced her said she recently became a bride!) were probably what you would expect. She talked about women's involvement from WWI to WWII, to Korea to Vietnam. Spoke of women in the military in Vietnam being limited to 2%, but now stands at 16%. That sort of thing.
