George W. Bush is a class act. We were truly blessed by God to have him as our President for eight difficult years.

How to Thank a Soldier

1. Look them in the eye and give them a firm handshake.


No one appreciates a firm handshake more than a soldier.


2. If they prefer not to shake hands . . .


. . . then a chest bump will do.


Just make sure you do your duckface afterward so they can laugh at you.


3. Admire their medals. They were hard-earned.


4. Always treat their families with great respect.


They have been through more than you could imagine.


5. Laugh with them!




6. Sometimes it’s important that you treat a soldier the way you would treat anyone else.


7. If you know a soldier, call them on the 4th of July.


It will make their day!


8. Or you can Skype them.


9. Each soldier has an amazing story.


10. Listen.


Listening is often the best gift you can give someone.


11. Give them a hug!


Soldiers love getting hugged because most of them are big softies deep down.


12. Do a sport with them.


Soldiers love being active.


13. Make sure you are respectful.


14. Cook them a big-ass dinner if you can. Lots of meat.


15. But if you only have a minute, look them square in the eye . . .


And say, “Thank you.”


We promise you they will appreciate it.


Happy 4th of July!

Thanks for the pics. Although I don’t agree with everything Bush did, He was soooo way better than Obozo. Those pics are a definite reminder of that. A set of pics like that featuring Obama would show him chumming with Muzzies and gays instead of American soldiers. Oy

Bush's sincere appreciation for the troops is nice.

Does it make up for the only relevant measure of him - his failed Presidency? - Not even close. And it never will.
