Rush shared this story with deep admiration today, and I wept as I heard it. I agree with you, lawgirl. Just when you think you can't admire him any more than you do, you find out that he's even more admirable than you previously thought!

I have said this a thousand times about this President, but I THANK GOD that he called
George W. Bush to lead this country through this dark hour!

I also heard Rush talk about this story this afternoon. A caller added that for the President, the Commander in Chief, the highest ranking officer to initiate the salute was a sign of our President according high honor to LTC Birdwell as usually lower ranking initiates the salute.

I thank God every day that we have decent, honorable, disciplined and dedicated President George W. Bush!

Thanks so much for the flag, ohio. This is a very moving story. He is such a humble man, and everyone he meets is touched by him.
