Remember Thanksgiving last year when he paid a surprise trip to the troops in Iraq and waded into the crowd to shake their hands and speak to them? The look on his face showed pride, respect, and love and the troops gave those things right back to him.
My son-in-law was one of those guys!!! :-)
This year he's not in Baghdad and has to settle for just me flying over to have Thanksgiving dinner with 'em on base in Alabama. No big time folks... but at least he's not in Baghdad. :-)
His Thanksgiving visit to our guys in Iraq is something I'll never forget. I even have a Dem friend who said she was very moved by it. So I asked her recently who she voted for and she said President Bush. I asked her why - she lives in Brooklyn right across the river from Manhattan - and she said 9/11 was so important and listened to Kerry's "crap about involving the U.N. before we took action" and that was it.
