President Bush's harshest critics assail him for not allowing images of dead soldiers, coffins, burials, cemetery scenes. I wish this slide show of President's Bush's visit would be more widely publicized than it's been.

I support President Bush. He is a good man and I love him. One day, his detractors will look back and see themselves as fools.

God Bless you President Bush.

I don’t really know what to say. This is at the very least what these heroes deserve...

To look at these men, these heroes, just hardens my heart even more against Democrats. Democrats that pompously, arrogantly and callously slap these valiant men in the face by failing to pass funding to finish this mission.

We owe it to these heroes as taxpayers to fund this battle in Iraq and fight this war against Islamic jihad to its completion.

Only victory will make sense to see what these lives of men who gave so much to defend our nation accomplished.

A whole lot of Democrats donated millions of dollars to help build that hospital. You might want to put away that broad brush.

A brush they’ve painted themselves with by electing the current batch of corrupt and cowardly Democrat leadership.

I stand by my paint brush.

How do you think Bush felt?

I'd say, God Bless this man.

Just don't sell out Israel.

Using your logic, perhaps the Fallen Heroes fund should just stop accepting donations from Democrats.

Your tag line piqued my curiosity and came away enlightened by the man you've paid homage to. Thanks for the history lesson. General Creighton Abrams

That's not my logic at all. I see valiant men who, here in this hospital and out in field who should have the steadfast support of both parties leadership.

That individual Democrats have given of their money and efforts to make this hospital a reality is more than noteworthy.

And no I didn't catch this earlier.

Funding passes House

I’m sorry if I sounded snippy. It just makes me so angry that there’s a need for privately funded hospitals for these brave men and women. The way our government has treated its bravest is shameful and has been for decades with no sign of change, save from projects like this taken on by the American people.

Again, my apologies.

Seeing this brings tears to my eyes - but it also makes me furious that our wealthy nation couldn’t bust its lard-laden ass to get IED-resistant vehicles to our troops sooner. >:-<

Hey Fargo,

I appreciate that you took the time to set me straight and help me not forget that it boils down to the fact that the vast majority of Americans work hand in hand with each other and that is what makes this such a great nation!

Thanks and God bless our wounded heroes and those that make it their work to help them.

Good for you.

We want the dems to shut up sometimes and just be, not liberal Americans, not democrat Americans, but just Americans.

We should lead by example.
