As much as the Marines liked Bush it still didn’t compare to how they loved Reagan. President Reagan is the only President whom the Marines would hold a salute even when they were saluting his back. They tolerate Obama. They respected Bush. But they loved Reagan.

Pres. Bush traveled to the MCAS Yuma where my daughter was stationed at the time. This was when the President was giving some speech about border security. Anyway all the Marines were called out to formation to greet the President and after the speech he went to the ranks and personnaly shook everyone's hand and thanked them for their service.

That Marine is holding the salute long after the President passed by. It looks like he is saluting President Bush’s back.
