Confessions From a Life on Holiday











{December 31, 2008}   As Bill Nye Says

Did you know that……

The President’s airplane, as we know, is called the Air Force One. Most notably, at least in recent history, it is known for being the place where Vice-President Lyndon Baines Johnson was sworn in as President as his wife “Ladybird” and a distraught, blood-covered Jacqueline Kennedy watched (google the photos, they will leave a lasting impression.)

But! The President also has his own helicopter called the Marine One.

WELL NOW YOU KNOW!!!!!

This leads me to wonder: There are several branches of the armed forces, two of which are the Air Force and the Marine Corps. Does the President have a ship called the Navy One? Or a tank or humvee or something called the Army One? If you happen to know, leave a comment. It’s more fun than looking it up on Wikipedia :-)
