I hope you won't take this as my interfering with your artistic process, but there are 3 photos I think define President Bush. They represent the moment he captured Americans' hearts. Perhaps not forever, but I think there's more residual fondness there than the media likes to admit.

Ground Zero

National Cathedral...
Here I can't decide which is more definitive...

George Howard's badge.

PS: I tried to find the one of the "first pitch" at that year's World Series...the one with all the flashbulbs popping and Bush in the bulky bullet-proof vest. But Google didn't come up with the right one.

(Don't pay any attention to me. After this weeks terror plot, I'm just reminiscing about better days before so many Americans "moved on".)

Last note:
Don't know what happened in that third photo. When I previewed it, it showed him holding up the badge with tears in his eyes. Something changed after I posted.

Here's another touching one of the same moment....

And here's "The PITCH".....

What courage! What leadership!

Thank You, Lord, for this man!
