This was on another thread......gives you chills.

Finally, a visibly nervous U.S. administrator L. Paul Bremer III strode to the podium with Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, the U.S. military commander in Iraq. The two dispensed a few quick words. Bremer then turned to Sanchez and said he had a Thanksgiving message from U.S. President George W. Bush. Bremer said the most "senior" U.S. official among them should be the one to read it.

Turning toward the stage backdrop, Bremer asked: "Is there anyone back there who's more senior than us?" Bremer's hands, cradling the president's speech, quavered.

At that moment, Bush strode forth from the wings in an Army track suit emblazoned with a 1st Armored Division patch. The bored crowd shot immediately from their seats and whooped. As he surveyed the crowd, a tear dripped to the president's cheek.

"I was just looking for a warm meal somewhere," Bush said, to another whoop. "Thanks for inviting me to dinner."

This was a great moment in history when President Bush appeared! And the thunderous applause from the troops made me cry. God Bless President Bush and God Bless our beloved military guys and gals!

Imagine what that moment was like for those troops to see the CIC standing in a tent in a war zone with them? Imagine the joy for the families with the coverage of their loved ones standing with the President.

God Bless Them All and God Bless President Bush!
