Thank you so much for your post. It brought tears to my eyes, as well. I just wish your story and others like it got as much press as Cindy Sheehan's has.
God Bless your son and all of our troops.

When President Bush was campaigning for reelection, He stopped at the baseball stadium in here in Brevard County Fl.
As he was walking down the ine shaking hands, he noticed a rather pale young lady, he stopped asked her if she was okay, as she passed out in front of him, Jeb Bush caught her as she passed out, and lifted her across the fence, Secret Service got her medica attention, and they came back and found the people who came with her ( her boyfriend), and escorted them to the ambulance. The secret service told the boyfriend to keep them posted, because they knew the President would want to know if she was okay that evening.
This didn't even make our local paper Florida (not) Today.
It would have been easy for him to continue on handshaking and let other folks handle it, but It's obvious he cares about people, not Celebs like the Clintons or Kerry's.
( personally I think Laura keeps him firmly planted on the ground, and doesn't let him get too full of himself).

Bush was intent on invading Iraq and that intelligence was being manipulated to support Bushs interests. Sheehan's son, Army Specialist Casey Sheehan was killed in Iraq. REUTERS/Chris Kleponis

Some here may have a problem with our President, but there's no getting around the fact that he's genuine. He's just flat real. (As they say in TX.)

I love that characteristic - after that phony clown who preceded him!

He's just flat real. (As they say in TX.)

That is a great description. Logical complaints are one thing but passing off characterizations from a lady that has lost it just isn't right.

[Humidston]

What a wonderful memory you have, Mom. And what a wonderful president we share! Prayers for him as well as your special children.

Thanks!

For What its worth, the Drudge Report (8/11/05) or my post of the article in which the Sheeshan family says "Stop Cindy!!" (Attached below):

As follows: From the Drudge Reprot (8/11/05):

FAMILY OF FALLEN SOLDIER PLEADS: PLEASE STOP, CINDY!
Thu Aug 11 2005 12:56:21 ET

The family of American soldier Casey Sheehan, who was killed in Iraq on April 4, 2004, has broken its silence and spoken out against his mother Cindy Sheehan's anti-war vigil against George Bush held outside the president's Crawford, Texas ranch.

The following email was received by the DRUDGE REPORT from Casey's aunt and godmother:

Our family has been so distressed by the recent activities of Cindy we are breaking our silence and we have collectively written a statement for release. Feel free to distribute it as you wish.

Thanks, Cherie

In response to questions regarding the Cindy Sheehan/Crawford Texas issue: Sheehan Family Statement:

The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect.

Sincerely,

Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.
