I don't know if this actually happened last week; the VA Tech shootings produced a bit of a news blackout, and I couldn't find any other coverage of this.

Wow - can you imagine how this would touch the Presidents’ heart?

Great story - great gesture.

I'm touched. I can't think of a more deserving tribute to our Commander In Chief by an American citizen.

Quite the difference from JF’n Kerry throwing “his” medals over the White House fence. The article was posted last Monday, and said he would present the Purple Heart to President Bush on Monday at 12:30. Not sure if that meant the same day or today (April 23).

He originally wrote up a citation and gave the medal and citation to his congressman to pass on to the President. When the President heard of it he asked that he come to the White House and present it himself. Great and honorable men come from Texas!
