I got to see it and I loved it so much.

[Nea Wood]

Wow. Wow, wow, wow. This is one of those wonderful little stories that just makes your day! Fortunately, I am on the West Coast, so will watch the repeat. Thanks for posting this! And God bless our classy President!

[ghostrider]

"...even if I dont always agree with him This former Marine would follow him anywhere.

Roger that! This former AF Gunship type is at your six.

"Y'know, he is a SOCIALIST."

Y'know, I should ignore any idiot with the screen name of "ModernDayCato", but I can't help myself.
Did your parents try to take the sting out of having to go to those "special" classes when you were little?
Did you always know that you were "different"?
Did it bother you that the desks were too small for you, but seemed to fit the other kids?
Does your parents know that you're not playing Poke-Mon games on the computer like you're supposed to be?
Just curious.

[Joee]

I DO like that man!!!! Just thank God he ain't GORE!!!!!

[RonDog]

Fortunately, I am on the West Coast, so will watch the repeat.

Thanks, Nea!

WEST COAST alert!

Semper Fi bump ... hope someone comes up the video

...as a Veteran myself it warms my heart to see that President Bush is a man of substance and cares about honor and respect.

Me too!!

Thank you for your dedicated service to our country!

This Marine salutes a Navy Veteran!

Oh, c'mon you guys! He's a politician and a pretty good one as shown today. Unfortunately, he's also a socialist and that's not what America (or any other country) should be about. Anyway, It was a good idea as judged by your responses but let's keep things in perspective. Are we really that starved for a hero? You know deep down that it was just a very poignant gesture by a politician. Actions speak louder than words (or symbolic gestures).

[dansangel]

Huh? ~digging out ears~

Did I just hear that right?

[billbears]

Son, as much as I may be against the particular type government we live under(democracy vs. Republic) I don't know if I would have said that!! You better duck.

FWIW, I think it is nice to have a POTUS that respects the military more than the last loser that occupied the office

[katze]

No one will ever know how proud. Whatta president, whatta guy. Thanks Norb for the post and thanks for flag, Saber, and for the shot, Hipixs.

[Trueblackman]

Thank you for your service to this great nation as well my friend.

[kstewskis]

The scottie the president was walking decided it wanted to squat right when he got to steps. The president pulled on its' leash, but the stubborn scottie persisted in squatting. The president bent down and scooped up the pooch and entered Marine One.

Made me laugh, thinking of the ever so parental scolding to the child: "Didn't you think of doing that *before* we left?" LOL

Moments later the president reemerged from the helicopter and out onto the steps. The Marine was standing at attention, head and eyes straight ahead. The president leaned over and tapped him on the left arm. The startled Marine turned his body toward the president and received his returned salute!

President Bush never fails to make me prouder by the moment. God has truly blessed us all!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks for the flag, Saber.

Thank you so much for your report, Norb. GW is such a wonderful man. This is so moving.

[Norb2569]

Uh - oh... When you use the 'socialist' word about George W. you are steppin' in thin ice, my friend.

I can hear the rumble of that Marine who will defend her Commander-In-Chief against all enemies and any type of disrepect, insult or slur...

You're gonna be sorry!!

[ThinkDifferent]

Give Bush some credit. He could have just gotten on board Air Force One and left, and nobody would have thought anything of it. While I don't agree with all of his policies, everything I've seen of him indicates that he conducts himself with honor and dignity, which is a refreshing change from the previous White House occupant.

[Norb2569]

See reply #116, it applies to you too!

[river rat]

That's the difference between trash and class.
Clinton/Rodham families and most of the Clinton Administration were trash.
Thank God and Greyhound They're Gone...
Semper Fi

[PeaceBeWithYou]

Cousin George ain't no socialist, but you might be. Anyone got a good strong tree handy?
