The mess hall actually erupted with hollering. Troops bounded to their feet with shocked smiles and just began cheering with all their hearts. The building actually shook. It was just unreal. I was absolutely stunned. Not only for the obvious, but also because I was only two tables away from the podium. There he stood, less than thirty feet away from me! The cheering went on and on and on. Soldiers were hollering, cheering, and a lot of them were crying. There was not a dry eye at my table. When he stepped up to the cheering, I could clearly see tears running down his cheeks.

I got chills reading this!

Hey Rondog, speaking of "Luvya Dubya" :):):)

Wow! As macho of a guy as I am, this thing brought tears to my eyes!

I am NOT a "Dubya lover", but for this act, I do love the guy. What he did for those guys there is immeasurable. I dont care what ANYONE else says, this was a great thing to do for the TROOPS, and thats all that matters to me.

Wow! What a tear-jerker this is. I cried when it happened, too. The joy of the soldiers and the emotions of their Commander-in-Chief tell the story. The RATS can claim this was a political stunt all they want. They are dead wrong. This was a gesture of love on both sides.

The building actually shook. ... Soldiers were hollering, cheering, and a lot of them were crying. There was not a dry eye at my table. ... he stepped down and was just mobbed by the soldiers. ...

What a great eyewitness report.

Maybe Tom Brokaw will include this type of report in one of his airtime tributes to the soldiers, no?

In my dreams.

Wphile, thanks a mil for the ping. Ragtime Cowgirl, thanks for posting this.

If you ever left a message on an answering machine you can do this!
It's really that simple. AND It's a Toll Free Number !


Send deployed troops message on SoldiersRadio.com

SoldiersRadio is again this year providing a way to let you tell Service members worldwide that you care and are thinking about them during the Holidays.

You can do an Audio Post Card simply by calling 1-800-330-5090.
Your recorded personalized message will be played back on www.SoldiersRadio.com.

You can record a short message (30 seconds) to friends, family members or just a random message of good will. SoldiersRadio will then take your message and put it on the radio Web cast throughout the Holiday Season. Its very simple to do and works both ways ... from the field or to the Service member.

AnyServiceMember.org is also promoting the call-in holiday service in hopes of reaching a large group of people who would like to send a message to Soldiers serving away from home.

The cut-off date for the call in is Dec.15.

Can you even imagine being one of the guys who didn't want to go and stayed away? I really do wish there had been more pictures of the troops as he came out. The one I have seen just grabs your heart.

Wonderful letter, while reading it I could visualize GWB walking around that green net toward the mic with tears in his eyes. What a wonderful event. An event that will last a lifetime even for us that were not there personally, but did have the pleasure of viewing it via cable tv.
