On July 29, 2009 several articles were published in sevberal news papers that Vice President Biden Picture was not being posted in federal buildings as President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney have been replace with a photograph of President Barack Obama but not Vice President Biden.
It was also published that old photographs of the former president were “removed and respectfully disposed of” from 8,600 federal facilities in January 20, 2009, and that the new ones were expected to be in placed in March 2009 according to the Federal Times.
It was published that a spokeswoman for the General Services Administration, Sahar Wali, said they were still waiting and the photos had not been received in July 2009 and that it takes time. I can understand that the process of getting photos produced, framed and placed in federal buildings takes a bit of time.
However after a year it seems that pictures of the President and Vice President would be in all Federal Buildings and especially in Valdosta, Georgia Federal Post Offices by April 2010. This should definitely be true on all military bases wherein the Commander-In-Chief is over our Armed Forces now serving on foreign battlefields.
Moreover as a retired military veteran of the Vietnam Era; I believe we should give respect and honor to our National Guard Troops by posting a picture of each State Governor in state buildings. Since our reserve forces must now serve in combat and leave their dependents behind. This will show further respect and honor to citizens of each state especially in time of war. God bless America, our active duty personnel, and all retired military veterans.
