President Bush has been busy lately. He just got back from a visit to Haiti… you should check out his Facebook page for details on that trip. But what he did yesterday morning is what I really want to talk about. Yesterday, Bush was at at DFW Airport to surprise 145 troops who just returned from Iraq and Afghanistan.
As 145 soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan walked through the double doors in Terminal D at DFW Airport on Wednesday for two weeks of R&R, they were greeted not only by their families, but by some special guests.
Former President George W. Bush and Laura Bush joined 33 kids participating in the North Texas Super Bowl Host Committee’s SLANT 45 project to give service members perhaps the most memorable moment since the Welcome Home Heroes initiative started in November 2004.
“Today was one of the best, if not the best day we ever had,” said Lt. Col. Patrick McAfee, who has overseen the program for the last three years. “It was phenomenal and the bottom line is that these service members had the shock of their lives. Kids being there gives special meaning to us soldiers, and the president and first lady were there just like regular people.”
I miss ya, Dubya!
