Although all of our presidents since George Washington have been commanders-in-chief, only Washington, Madison, and George W. Bush held that title at a time when the U.S. homeland was attacked by foreign enemies. (Texas was an independent state when it was attacked by Mexico. The Civil War was between Americans. Hawaii was not a state at the time of Pearl Harbor.)

President Bush never lost sight of the historical import of his actions as commander-in-chief and, like Washington before him, he never failed to honor the troops he led.

President Bush fist bumps with an Air Force Academy grad.

With his Army troops.

Comforting and encouraging troops on a plane bound for Iraq.

With his Marines.

And his sailors.

Although the media loves to throw around terms like "legacy," they never make note of the fact that the Clinton legacy led us straight to the terror attacks and virtually simultaneous anthrax attacks a mere 7 months and 22 days after GWB was sworn in. Taken together, those attacks were an attempt to cripple, if not completely bring down our government, news media, financial system and air transportation system.

ONE man -- only one -- stood between us and potential collapse in those dark days. Forget? Not possible, at least not for me.

Atop a burned out hulk of a firetruck at Ground Zero just days after the attacks.

One of the great tragedies -- indeed, betrayals -- of this nation was perpetrated by our seditious media, which meant not a word of what it was selling shortly after 9/11/01. I'll never forget their betrayal, either, or that of the rest of the American Left.
