Thanks, Kas.

That was such a stirringly moving and touching ceremony,
made more so because Pres. Bush has such an obvious love
and honor for our awesome military, as he has demonstrated
so fully over these years.

My morning was so weepy watching and remembering.. and
I know he got choked up at the event. He chokes up, I cry.
It’s so sad to see him leave.

I loved the messages from the troops .. you can clearly
see how much they respect and honor him. It sadly won’t
be the same for them all too soon.

I think he’ll always make time for them in his life .. always.

If you remember in the Pentagon interview, he said
.. and you can tell he meant it .. it’s his obligation to
give them personal attention. They mean so much to him.
him.

I thought the Pentagon Channel did a great job ... and
it was a wonderful interview, with interesting clips and
tidbits, like Saddam’s gun, which will go to his Presidential Library.

I don’t remember ever seeing such a ceremony for another
outgoing President .. I certainly can’t imagine one more
lovingly presented by our fantastic troops.

God be with them and protect them and us all when he’s
gone from office. Too sad, too horribly sad.

Starwise, you penned exactly my feelings after watching the ceremony.

God Bless America and God Bless President Bush and Laura.

Thank you. I am so choked up from just reading your comments and seeing the pictures I can hardly see the screen.

I am going to miss the President and Laura so much.

You're welcome. January <20^th will be a sad day for us.

He loves the military and they love him. They will show respect to 0bama, but that is all.
