Is that the EMT with the badge on his shirtsleeve?

I never put the story together with the picture.

And you're so right about how comfortable people are to touch and lean on the President. It speaks volumes about his character, and his LOVE.

Ohio, looks like the young man seated behind the President who has his hand on the President’s arm (note striped shirt). They mentioned this on Fox today.....the young man was overwhelmed and the President turned around to comfort him; EMT then took the young man out of the auditorium.

When the President spoke, yesterday and today, you can “see” the genuine grief and concern in his face. He, truly, is a compassionate man.

Yes, I think so. However, that is not whose hand is on GWB's arm--different colored shirt. I am assuming that the hand belongs to a family member of one of the students/faculty.
