GO TIGER!

Check this out. I found this pretty awesome. I am a big tiger woods fan, but even more so now. He actually seems to be a celbrity/athlete who has common sense and a good head on his shoulders. We checked his site, and this speech is on there, so he did in fact give it. Please read:

TIGER WOODS SPEECH AT THE INAUGURATION:


Tiger Woods received a special invitation to speak at the

inauguration. His inviters were stunned, when he did not
deliver the message they expected. You will see why the
media swept it under the rug with no further ado. And

who and why a certain element is pissed off at Tiger.?


Below is the text of his speech, entitled:


"You'll Never Walk Alone," as posted on his Web site:


"I grew up in a military family - and my role models

in life were my Mom and Dad, Lt. Colonel Earl Woods. My
dad was a Special Forces operator and many nights friends
would visit our home. They represented every branch of the
service, and every rank.

"In my Dad, and in those guests, I saw first hand the
dedication and commitment of those who serve. They come from
every walk of life. From every part of our country. Time and
again, across generations, they have defended our safety in
the dark of night and far from home.


"Each day -- and particularly on this historic day --
we honor the men and women in uniform who serve our country
and protect our freedom. They travel to the dangerous
corners of the world, and we must remember that for every
person who is in uniform, there are families who wait for
them to come home safely.


"I am honored that the military is such an important

part, not just of my personal life, but of my professional
one as well. The golf tournament we do each year here in
Washington is a testament to those unsung heroes.


"I am the son of a man who dedicated his life to his
country, family and the military, and I am a better person
for it.


"In the summer of 1864, Abraham Lincoln, the man at
whose memorial we stand, spoke to the 164th Ohio Regiment
and said: 'I am greatly obliged to you, and to all who
have come forward at the call of their country.'


"Just as they have stood tall for our country - we
must always stand by and support the men and women in
uniform and their families.


"Thank you, and it is now my pleasure to introduce the

US Naval Glee Club."

I have never been more proud of Tiger Woods than when I
heard his 2-minute tribute to the military at the Inaugural
Celebration in Washington DC... You know he was greatly
pressured to be there. Liberals have been mad at him for a
decade for not joining their ranks. You know he didn't
want to be there. So instead of paying homage to Obama, he
paid tribute to our soldiers. Not one time did Tiger mention
Obama, the inauguration or the new administration. He knew
beforehand that his love for America, and appreciation for
our military men & women would anger them further.? But
Tiger is his own man; his father taught him to be his own
man.


Somewhere over that cold, gray Washington sky, old Earl
Woods was smiling down on his beloved son.? And there will
?be one more crying hug waiting for Tiger when he passes
through the Pearly Gates into God's arms.


PASS IT ON: Draft Tiger for Congress!???
