I got this e-mail from a friend today. I checked it out with Snopes.com under the SEARCH string :
"George W. Bush Fort Hood"
and the story is TRUE.
I'd like to share it with you. It just shows where the heart of our former President lies. These are folks who truly care about our veterans and their families, not publicity.

Randy Royer, from Dothan, AL, is a shooting victim at Ft. Hood.
A man in Dothan had his television on in his office when the news of the military base shootings came on. One of his employees had a husband who was stationed at Ft. Hood . He called the employee into his office and the minute he told her what was going on, she received a text message from her husband saying, "I'm okay."
The cell phone started ringing right after that. It was an ER nurse. She said, "I'm the one who just sent you a text, not your husband." She thought the message would be comforting, but she immediately knew she had to let the wife know what was going on. She said, "I am sorry, but your husband has been shot 4 times and he is in surgery."
The wife left Dothan and drove all night.
Miraculously, here is the photo that was taken today (the day after the shooting) in the hospital room. He is awake and will recover. His wife, who lives in Dothan, made it to Ft. Hood about the time he was waking up.
Thought I'd share this great outcome. Look who is in his room !!
No wonder there was no press release.
What do snopes.com and Al Gore have in common?
Well done. I’m glad this man is going to be okay. God bless his family and God Bless President George W. Bush and First Lady, Laura Bush.
Excellent pic. I miss W as well,given the present regime takeover. He sure wasn’t perfect,but he was a damn sight better than what we have to deal with now.
I miss him too, the last adult to hold the office. I can’t even call what we have now (a/k/a the douchebag) the president. I refer to him as the _resident.
Peace...

It’s true.

Former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura secretly visited Fort Hood last night and spent “considerable time” consoling those who were wounded in Thursday’s shooting spree, Fox News has learned.
The Bushes entered and departed the sprawling military facility in secret, having told the base commander they did not want press coverage of their visit, a source told Fox News.

The Bushes, who have a 1,600-acre property known as Prairie Chapel Ranch less than 30 miles from Fort Hood in central Texas, spent between one and two hours visiting the wounded and their familie
