What a wonderful report.

All that I can say is that we, the American people, are so very blessed to have a soldier like you, Brad.

Thank God for you and your family and your troops.

You have made me one very proud and happy American.

Godspeed and Semper Fi!

I know I am late to this thread. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes after reading this email from Brad. Thank you so much for making my morning so bright! What a wonderful way to begin this holiday season. We are so lucky to have soldiers like Brad! And a CIC we can be proud of.
Thank you again for posting this fantastic email.
And, a ping to mylife, thought you would enjoy this one.

I know. How sweeeetttt it is!

[stevie_d_64]

Man, this is just too cool!

I don't think anyone could say the President does anything unexpected anymore...

If there ever was a slam dunk that could happen...And I am not going to be surprised if he does...

But if he swings through on Christmas...That could just put the last nail in the Dems coffin for 2004...

And who cares if it gives political weight to Bush next year!!! I would think its very American to do what he did...

I'm proud of all of our troops and of our President!!!

Later,
Steve

Pass on our best, big ern. Tell him to tell all the troops we're behind them. It HAS to be a morale boost to have the CIC visit.

God, I'm proud of our military, and you can see that President Bush is, too.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful email. And thanks, Brad, for your service to this great country of ours. Congratulations on your fantastic honor.

Thanks Brad, for your service, dedication and sacrifice. Sounds to me like you more than earned the honor of sitting at the head table and talking with the President. Well done.

Sent this to a friend of mine who's an instructor at West Point. He's forwarded it to his cadets as OPD (Officer Professional Development). I look forward to hearing what its impact is there.

I think it comes under the heading of Kick Butt rather than Kiss Butt.
