I got this email earlier this evening through one of my Coastie buddies. I dont know the guy in the pic or the names in the email but it looks legit.
My home e-mail is FUBAR and my web space is down so I cant post pics and I thought you could post it in the Canteen or on FreeRepublic somewhere for all to see.
I think its pretty cool!
"Attached is a picture of one of my best friends in the Army, Mike M. We were privates together in 1990-1994. 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, that they would go on a run together.
True to his word, he (GWB) 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/best things I have seen in my life

Here's my previously private reply which 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub wanted me to share with you all:
To the Left, the picture of GWB running with the amputee is one of the principle reasons why they believe that GWB has to be removed from the Presidency by any means necessary - he is a man of his word to each and every man. If GWB will "take a break" from being the most powerful man on the planet for 10-15 minutes to uphold a promise to "an average GI", just imagine the sincere effort he puts into keeping his promise to protect and defend the united states against our enemies foriegn and domestic.
There is amazing power in honor and truth which is the reason why the Left spends so much time and effort compensating for their deficit in both.
