I hope there are some still pictures of this episode available. I searched through Yahoo and google, but couldn't find any. If any FReepers see it, (attention Rintense), please post it to this thread.

I want to forward this story to my friend, a Marine with the 26th MEU on board the USS BATAAN, awaiting insertion into Afghanistan. This message needs to be shared with all our active duty military personnel.

The have a truly great Commander-In-Chief!

Semper Fidelis, Mr. President, we are proud to serve under your LEADERSHIP!

Motivated Marine Corps BUMP!!

I saw that clip. It was truly awesome. I am bursting with pride when I see our Commander-in-Chief. He is more than up for the job and has proved his naysayers wrong at almost every turn.

[Miss Marple]

Norb, I saw this as well. It was so heartwarming...that he would come all the way back down the steps and tap that Marine on the arm and return the salute! He didn't have to do that...most likely no one except service people would have noticed...and the media probably wouldn't have noticed it so it wouldn't have been covered.

What a good guy he is! Thanks for posting this and calling people's attention to it. It is a wonderful clip. (Repeats later this evening...it is at the very end of the show.)

God that's nice. I emailed it to my dad. (22 years in Uncle Sam's Misguided Children)

Thanks!

I saw it too. I also remember that when the president first entered the helicopter as President, the marine not only saluted him, but turned to face him to receive his orders, a courtesy NEVER accorded to Clinton. As my friend says, leave it to the marines!

[HateBill]

I saw this as well. It was truly the definition of "class." Do you remember the story of Bush visiting the officer who had been severely burned during the Pentagon bombing and exchanging salutes? We are so blessed as a country to have his leadership at this difficult time.

[Hank Rearden]

I'll see it on the repeat, 9pm Pacific time.

Sounds classy and pretty cool to me, too. I can't imagine Sh&#head Clinton doing that.

[Alas]

Wow, and to think, he was Air Force wasn't he?

Nukem

[mdittmar]

I watched it also, and when he didn't salute I thought,"What the F^^K!",then he came back out and I knew,once again,why I voted for him.

[rintense]

You mean this one????

[mdittmar]

P.S. I also saw the Marine mouth what looked like "Thank you Sir". A great moment that speaks a thousand words.

[Betteboop]

I saw that--it was wonderful--I laughed and cried at the same time!!!!

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

I saw it live on FOX. The smile on that Marines face was priceless!!!

[Sabertooth]

Nice.

[mombonn]

I saw this on Special Report. It was . . . SPECIAL!

Norb thanks for posting this great thread about our president. This simple act shows that we have a decent man as POTUS. This Marine and his buddies now have a wonderful lifetime story to share with others!
