USO Dallas/Fort Worth

This morning at DFW Airport, George and Laura Bush greeted 150 (very surprised) troops as they arrived home from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Seems like a nice USO too.

What a class act.

And yes, the USO's (plural, there are several of them at DFW) are great, with lots of goodies and the largest collection of challenge coins I have ever seen.

There is just something about the pictures of President Bush meeting with Soldiers that gives me a good feeling, they're always so genuine.

Within a few days of Chris crossing over on 8 Aug 2005, I received a hand written note from both President and Mrs Bush. They were very thoughtful and powerful at the same time. I was genuinely touched by their notes and have kept them and always will. I wonder what Gold Star families get now?

Unfortunately, they probably get a signed 8x10 of Zero and an IPOD with a collection of his greatest speeches about himself.
