As 145 soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan walked through the double doors in Terminal D at DFW Airport last week for two weeks of R&R, they were greeted not only by their families, but by former president George Bush and his wife Laura.
It is refreshing to see how pro-American and patriotic our former Commander-in-Chief is. Please take a moment to watch this heartwarming and inspirational video of President Bush welcoming home our military heroes (turn on volume).
President Bush is putting something in each one of these soldiers hands. Wonder what it is? It’s a George W. Bush Presidential Coin. It’s part of the handshake and often done this way in the Military. In the Military they call it a “Challenge Coin”. If a soldier does a “Challenge” the person who has the highest ranking coin gets his meal or drink paid for. It will be hard to top that coin!!
Brady said about 40 people, among them retirees and veterans, show up almost daily to help welcome home soldiers with ovations as they depart customs and enter the main terminal. More than 750,000 service members have been welcomed as part of the program, he said, and some purposely ask to reroute their return to the U.S. so they can come through DFW.
The single worst president in the history of these United States. Give up your love for this disaster who has put the country’s future in jeopardy in just 8 years.
“The single worst President in the history of these United States”…? First of all, my blog was not related to his time in office…it was intended to show his support and care for our troops and their families. However, since you make the claim that he was “the worst President” perhaps you could provide some facts to support your opinion. If this is simply your personal belief, then perhaps you should have stated that… “In my opinion”. Otherwise, you are simply on the bandwagon of those who differ politically. While this is acceptable (that’s why I published your comment) it is neither factual nor intellectually honest.
