Yeah, thats me. Hopefully, there will be a better photo of the occasion from Ron Paul's photographer. They were rushing us through and my camera takes a long time to snap so it didn't take until I was about to walk away. I told Dr. Paul, "Thank you for your bravery." and he looked at me and said, "Thank you for your support." It was a moment I will remember for the rest of my life. I hope I get a chance to meet him again (and get a better photo)

Thanks for sharing. Here is a 10 for you!

great shot I like the way you capitalized the letters . I see your proud of your SON
Col. George W. Feb 2, 2008, 11:48pm EST
NO one has ever been or ever will be more proud of his SON than I am. I could fill a book with his accomplishments.
Todd .. Feb 3, 2008, 9:48am EST
Very cool. And congrats to your son! :-)
Lydia (part of the solution) Shelley Feb 3, 2008, 2:13pm EST
Awesome!

By the way... you can view the MTV/MySpace segment featuring Ron Paul here.

Great photo Colonel
Col. George W. Feb 11, 2008, 10:11pm EST
Thanks Lora

Col -

A man should be proud of his son, if he himself has done right by him. It looks like you have done a wonderful job, though he might be a bit misguided here and there politically. LOL! Teasing - just teasing. ;)
David L. Feb 12, 2008, 9:48pm EST
You know I love ya!
Col. George W. Feb 12, 2008, 10:03pm EST
We are going to go on a big Ron Paul rally march on Washington DC. Want to come along and support Ron Paul.

I know you secretly are a Ron Paul supporter.

I can tease too
David L. Feb 13, 2008, 11:41am EST
Col -

LOL! I have a lot of respect for your right to voice your opinion and your military service tells me where you heart is; but, we have serious differences when it comes to where your head is my friend. *winks*

I think Ron Paul is a stark-raving looney-bird of the highest order when it comes to his views on international affairs (isolationist) and this country's National Security. I'm sorry my friend, but I'm going to have to gracefully decline your kind offer. But thanks for inviting me Col!
Col. George W. Feb 13, 2008, 11:48am EST
Oh my David, I was so looking forward to your being there. haha.
Cortney R. Feb 18, 2008, 12:37am EST
That is a nice picture. I bet your son enjoyed that moment.
Col. George W. Feb 18, 2008, 12:41am EST
He don't get that grin on his face every day Cortney. Thanks
Chelsea R. Feb 22, 2008, 4:48pm EST

Col. George W. Feb 22, 2008, 5:42pm EST
That's my Boy Chelsea, we are going to DC to march for him this spring
Michael L. Mar 11, 2008, 8:17pm EDT
I give this image a 10
Samantha V. Mar 12, 2008, 9:09pm EDT
Great photo! Thanks for sharing! :)
Col. George W. Mar 16, 2008, 7:36pm EDT
Thank you Lora, Other than being there to march with us I can think of nothing you can do to help. I greatly appreciate the offer.
J R B. Apr 8, 2008, 10:30pm EDT
He looks like a big boy. Like my grandson is over 200 pounds.
Jeff R. Apr 9, 2008, 12:34am EDT
Nice photo!
Col. George W. Apr 10, 2008, 5:14pm EDT
JRB yes he is over 200# and strong as an OX.

Thanks Jeff.
Kimber L. May 1, 2008, 11:28am EDT
Sounds like a neat experience
J W. May 25, 2008, 7:21pm EDT
great pic
Martin Mandeville May 25, 2008, 7:28pm EDT
It looks like Ron Paul is going to stay in the race until the convention. I hope he takes a lot of votes from that old guy who is running.
Col. George W. May 25, 2008, 7:57pm EDT
Martin, I hope he winds up with the Nomination. would be quite a coup for the good guys.

Yeah I know chances are better to win the lottery.
Lori Cee Jun 12, 2008, 9:53pm EDT
lol! he looks like he can't believe it.
Col. George W. Jun 13, 2008, 1:34am EDT
I think I saw him in the crowd at Ron Paul's speach tonight. I know he was there. He does look a little flabergasted doesn't he.

Col. George W. Nov 22, 2008, 7:59am EST
A picture and experience to remember
Dan R. Nov 22, 2008, 8:04am EST
Looks like it was Col.

Hey glad to see you're back from the sickhouse. Hope you're feeling better.
Col. George W. Nov 22, 2008, 8:23am EST
I'm a couple months away from recovery but at least I am home. Thank you Dan.
Charles Temm JR Dec 8, 2008, 9:28pm EST
Got to listen to him at the Von Mises Institute here in Auburn AL a few years ago. Can't agree with all he says but I agree with him more than 95% of the other politicians we have in this country...
Col. George W. Dec 9, 2008, 12:40am EST
I don't agree with Ron Paul on some issues but do on most. That is a lot more than I can say about the rest of the politicians.
