maybe unlike the previous president, that would fake everything, this president does not want to be mentioned for this type of compassion.

They may not have covered it because they may not have been there.
He doesn't want to use the wounded troops as a photo op like Clinton would have.
The first few times we heard about it because the press complained, but they have gotten used to the exclusion and don't mention it much any more.

What a great story. No wonder I didn't see it in the media. Thanks for posting.

Don't believe everything you read in an e-mail. As noted by the Office of the Sergeant Major of the Army, it is an embellishment on the real story. The actual facts are impressive enough, it is a shame that this version continues to make the rounds, tainting the message.

Ummm, this is almost identical to the story Dalton Trumbo told about the WWI soldier who inspired his novel, JOhnny Got His Gun.

Someone please tell AnnCoulter.org that this story is not true.
