>> TIGER WOODS SPEECH AT THE 2009 INAUGURATION:
>>
>> Tiger Woods received a special invitation to speak at the
>> inauguration. His inviters were stunned, shocked when he did not
>> deliver the message they expected. A brief read and you will
>> understand why the media swept Woods' remarks under the rug with no
>> further ado and why the liberal left of our American society was
again displeased with Tiger.
>>
>> His speech was entitled:
>>
>> "You'll Never Walk Alone" [text is word-for-word as posted on Tiger's

>> 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 i s 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 ..."

>> Tiger Woods' 2-minute, 5-second tribute to the our nation's
>> military was delivered January 18th at the Inaugural Celebration in
>> Washington, DC!
>> He had been subjected to intense pressure to attend and offer
remarks.
>> Especially so by liberals who have demeaned and criticized him for a

>> decade for not joining their ranks.
>>
>> Yet, at the Lincoln Memorial, instead of paying homage to Barack
>> Obama, Tiger paid tribute to our soldiers. Not once did Tiger
>> mention Obama, the inauguration or the new administration. He had
>> to understand expressing his love for America and appreciation for
>> our military men and women would disappoint the national news media
>> and the liberal left. But Tiger is his own man; his father taught
>> him to be his own man.
>>
>> Somewhere over that cold, gray Washington sky, Colonel Earl Woods was

>> smiling down on his beloved son. And there will be one more crying
>> hug waiting for Tiger when the time comes he passes through heaven's
>> gates into God's arms.
>>
>> What? You did not previously know what Tiger said? You did not see a

>> video clip of him speaking on a national television network, you did

>> not see a photo of Tiger at the Lincoln Memorial offering his
>> remarks, you did not read a story in the NY Times? His appearance
>> at the Inaugural Celebration had been widely hailed and promoted in
>> advance by the Obama inaugural organizers. yet January 18 when he
>> came and spoke . . .
>>
>> Oh, well.
>>
>> WELL...If you are as tired of this liberal media as I am,
>> change the channel, and pass this on.
>>
>> I checked this out on Snopes and it is true. If anyone has
>> ever doubted whether Tiger is a classy guy then this should help
>> erase the doubt. If you want to read about it then check out Tigers
