Heres another great story about our president you will never see in the main street media. Apparently he kept his word to an injured serviceman who lost his leg and went jogging with him. Read the story and be proud.

Apparently, there was no media there and the photo may have been taken by a friend or family member. I'm not 100% sure about that but the photo was kinda hard to find anywhere but at snopes which does not allow linking to images. I found it on this site. With this:

Attached is a picture of one of my best friends in the Army, Mike McNaughton. He stepped on a landmine in Afghanistan Christmas 2002. President Bush came to visit the wounded in the hospital. He told Mike that when he could run a mile, they would go on a run together. True to his word, he called Mike every month or so to see how he was doing. Well, last week they went on the run, 1 mile with the president. Not something you'll see in the news, but seeing the president taking the time to say thank you to the wounded and to give hope to one of my best friends was one of the greatest things I have seen in my life. God bless him.

Thanks for the link to the story about the President jogging with a soldier who lost his leg.

I thought I kept up with all the news and I had never heard that story. Of course the mainstream media would never report it.

I saved it for future use.

Actually, the jogging with the man with a prosthetic was on several of the morning news shows - I caught it on the ABC affiliate here in Sacramento a couple of weeks ago.
