A True Touch of Class

[afchic]

I just got this from my Dad, and thought I would share.

There's a group of ladies in the Dallas area who make and stuff neck pillows for soldiers coming through Dallas Fort Worth airport. They go to the airport and meet the incoming planes every week and greet the soldiers coming back for a few weeks R&R, give them a pillow, tell them they pray for them, and thank them for their service. The lady who took the pictures said everyone was so surprised to see George and Laura Bush recently just standing quietly in the waiting area with others who come to meet the troop planes. She said it was amazing to watch the faces of the soldiers light up in recognition when they spotted them and that many came over to speak and shake hands.

I for one am not surprised that the Bush's do this type of thing. They do this outside the limelight, and do if for the right reasons. Not for publicity or approval ratings, but because they care. He sent us into harms way, and I think if he had the opportunity to see every single one of us come home and shake the hands of the living, a kind word and hug to the injured, and offer a final salute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, he would do it. That is the kind of man he is and I for one am proud to call him President of the United States and my Commander in Chief.
