Please tell your son-in-law and daughter that I very much appreciate the sacrifices they both made for our great country. Hope all of you have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
I can't help but ask - - what did he think about the Pres being there? Any word of what he and the other troops had to say about it?
Tom was ecstatic! He was a Reagan conservative to begin with. Loved W from the beginning. But when Bush showed up for dinner - it bowled him over! He is still talking about it. :-)
We here in the FR Hobbit Hole had adopted Tom's platoon for troop support and had been sending them packages for months. I heard great things from the guys in the platoon about that visit. I am fairly certain that every last one of those guys would have loved to be there to confront those Chilians today! Chili woulda been toast! So much for foreign relations! LOL
I will relay your thanks to Tom. He will smile and look humble and just say he was doing his job. :-)
