Even reading this thread from the bottom up and knowing it was going to be a tearful read, I wasn't prepared for the emotion that welled up. I was never so proud of a President.......and I remember Roosevelt!

While I don't remember Roosevelt, I do remember Eisenhower, but I don't remember any President save the present one, who has had such a special relationship with our soldiers. I can't help but wonder how many of them have seen him weep? I'd be willing to bet that it's far more often than is reported. Like this story, but for the report by someone who sent his troops there, we would never have known.

The interesting thing to me is the guys on the Military board where I swiped this, have had the same reaction we have! I mean, these guys read the worst of what could happen not only to America, but in the world. I never knew they were such softies at heart.
