President Bush is greeted by Freedom Corps Volunteer, Cadet Heather DiSilvio, at Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, N.Y. What an honor for this young woman to be the person from the cadet corps on hand to greet the Commander-in-Chief.

Those kids work so hard, it's great to see them smiling. I love watching the hats go into the air.

A bit of trivia about the service academies. It costs the government about $100,000 for their educations, four years worth. If a cadet fails to graduate, they have to pay the government back for the cost of their education. So if the goat had gotten kicked out in his junior year instead of going on to graduate, he would have owed a lot. They give them the opportunity to drop out at some point in their first year, because of the payback, if the cadet thinks they won't be able to make it. I know someone who graduated from Annapolis two years ago.
