Former President George H.W. Bush takes a last look before donating his World War II service revolver to the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on Wednesday, July 18, 2007.

In addition to the revolver, which was maintained in outstanding condition, also donated were the amunition belt and gun's waterproof cover carried by the then very young lieutenant.

Although his disease has clearly left its mark in thinning, grayer hair and a more aged look, Tony Snow continues to work despite having ongoing chemotherapy. Here's an update on his condition, from a brief question and answer during the last daily press briefing:

Q: Tony, how are you doing? And how much longer is the chemo --

MR. SNOW: I've got three more chemos. So four weeks from today I'll finish up this chemo regimen. Then I will do follow-up chemo, which will involve smaller doses of one agent and less frequent chemo sessions of another.

Q: God bless you Tony.

In case anyone missed the story of Lt Bush’s revolver, here is a quick synopsis.

When he was rescued by a submarine, he shared a bunk with an officer of the sub. You can just imagine how cramped a WWII era sub was.

So Bush gave him the revolver as a thank you. For years all that the descendants of this man knew was that the downed pilot was a very nice guy - funny and pleasant to have aboard.

When they decided to return it to President Bush, he chose to give it to the museum.
