Hope this isn't a repost, nice first-hand account of the commander-in-chief visiting our fine troops.

Contrast this with Hillary's dinner with the troops.

I jsut read this to my wife, who is sitting in her chair with tears in her eyes. She can't see the mist in mine cause of the tears in hers.

Thanks your post has made my or should I say our night.

Have you heard about google?

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. It was the most surreal moment I've had in years.
Not since my wedding and xxxxx being born.

So much for real men not crying.
And that place of full of real men (and real women).

Too bad American history classes don't relate the story when guy named George (that served
as President) got a room full of his soldiers crying. Suppossedly a lot of the
officers of the Continental Army were not happy with not getting paid by Congress...
and were even muttering words like "coup".
As I understand, Gen. George Washington was allowed to attend a meeting of these officers.
When he finally was to speak about the issue, he had notes to read, but fumbled
with his "spectacles" and in embarassment said to the assemblage something like
"I fear that I've gone quite blind in your service".

Tears everywhere. Sobs from the men who'd stayed the course at the singular quality
of the man who'd seen it through.
No more talk of insurrection.
Thank goodness radio host Michael Medved included this vignette on one of his history tapes.

[DesertDreamer]

Thanks for posting this. I hadn't seen it before and it's nice to finally hear an accurate account after all the DU spin that has made it into the media.

[MeanAsSnake]

Does anyone have a first hand account of Hillary's visit? It would nice to contrast the two.
