Thank you so much for taking the time to tell about your family’s visit with the President.

I have always held Pres. Bush in very high regard.

Your story reminds me why I admire him so much. So does remembering how he went against his own security detail’s advice and returned to the Oval Office late in the day on Sept. 11th because he knew the country would be most reassured if he delivered his speech from there than somewhere else, even if that meant putting himself at risk.

I am proud of Pres. Bush and any fair-minded intelligent indiividual can easily understand why.

Well put. I feel the same way.

We are going to miss him when he leaves office.

Would Obama ever do this?

Great story, about the class of our President.

And, an Eielson ping. I served there for four years way back when. It was a memorable experience.

Thanks for sharing that and God bless you and your family.

A human being connecting with the joys, fears, and mourning of fellow human beings, never seeing himself as larger than life. President Bush is a man of uncommon humility and grace. A man’s nobility of character, depth of conviction, and wisdom, rather than petty partisanship, are the inks with which history’s memory will be penned.

This story only increases my respect for our president. He is truly a great man who has been brutalized by the press and he continues to do what he thinks is right.

Thank you, George H.W., and Barbara Bush for raising this fine man.

Bookmarked for a later read... Thank you. :)

I agree with you .. and although the dems like to portray Bush as hated by the whole world .. if you take a republican poll you’ll find he still has a 78% approval rating.

Awesome story of an encounter with a great man. George Bush will not be forgotten. Over his eight years in office, there are probably hundreds of stories like this in which he took the extra steps and walked the extra mile to serve. We have been truly blessed by his dedication to this nation.

May God bless all of our faithful military men and women and our Commander in Chief.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am very sorry for your loss.

I think that President Bush is perhaps the finest man who has ever been in the Oval Office.
