Mrs. "O"... the previous administration had... and still does have... the most respect for those in the military... Mr. & Mrs. Bush and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Cheney took care of business and visited often soldiers/military behind the scenes without reporters and photogs in tow.

Tell me Mrs. "O" - when did your husband serve in the military?

[Just A Nobody]

True and well said - thank you.

Oh how I despise these people! Sure "many" have not been invited to the White House, but MANY have!

"one idea Michelle had was to have an event for military families -- here they are sacrificing so much for the country and many of them probably have never been invited to the White House."

One of our wounded warriors, Luke and his lovely wife:

Daughters of our heroes meet First Dog Barney.

PRESIDENT Bush walks across the White House lawn to greet Tony, commenting; "I see you got your new leg!"

President Bush had presented Tony his Purple Heart months before and remembered his name and the nature of his injuries. Tony was shocked and appreciative that his Commander-in-Chief would remember him in such a way.
