What brought tears to my eyes about the President's secret trip was the trust it represented. The Warriors have been so trusted by the Leader that he placed his own life in their secure hands, all for the sake of honoring them! Nothing, no speach from the Oval office, no proclomation from on high, could ever mean more than this to a soldier!

That very feeling came over me, I wasn't there but chest was so swelled by the end of the article...
I met 41 (twice) both in much less hostile conditions (aboard Aircraft Carriers, when he was Vice President) the genuine feeling of mutual admiration and trust is something I will never forget.
