Why, thanks!
Yeppers, that was when he gave a shout-out to my buddy in Iraq.
You would have thought I told the fella he won a million bucks, he was so excited that his Prez would take time out of his busy day to acknowledge a "lowly" (and I use that term with a great deal of sarcasm!) Private First Class.
I even wrote to GW a few days ago to let him know he made a soldier's day.
Incidentally, that little boost in morale came at a great time, his unit in Iraq has been taking a lot of fire due to the elections upcoming and have lost some of their brothers and sisters. It's taking a toll on them.
I'll be keeping your soldier and his brothers and sisters in arms in my prayers!
