One thing that struck me was the charitable donations of the Cheney's they were awesome from a couple that are attacked if not daily but weekly with dreadful lies but quietly behind the scenes they are donating a very large percentage of their income. A large slice of the money he received from Harliburton was also donated/channeled that way.
Part of their charity donations also goes to supporting the troops welfare connected I believe with some medical or social facility in Washington also not that publicized but they have made many visits to injured troops as well.
Yes he is still a very wealthy man but he gave up extreme wealth to come back to Washington and serve his country when probably he would have retired within a few years and now be enjoying the fruits of his distinguished career in the peace and quiet of the Snake River instead of early morning CIA briefs before the majority of us have even woken up.
The President as well of course like all heads of State/Government can never have a real vacation and those protesting should remember that when they are having their fortnight in whereever.
Whoops I meant to say about Hilliary even more not less would be hidden
THANK YOU ! for posting such great pictures, didn't get a chance to visit FR yesterday. His expressions are really genuine, he's a very touchy type person with everyday Americans and especially with the military. It's really sad that these people like Cindy Sheenan would try and destroy her son's memory. These pictures help restore the faith that we have in this man.
You are so right--very poignant. I think that one time I saw (probably here!)a photo of GWB and Jeb taken when GWB arrived in FL. It seems as though that picture was on 9/10. I remember getting goose bumps when I saw it--none of us had any clue that our world was about to change so drastically. Thanks for posting that picture.

Great installment of the Dose. Thanks soooo much.
I'm surprised to see the outstreched hands here. I know a few people who regularly attend this event. Let's just say I don't think they voted Republican.
Wolfstar, thank you for this wonderful compilation of pictures of W and 'the people'. Your time and efforts are appreciated more than you know. These pictures make it very clear that our dear President is a caring person.
Again, thank you, so much for this Dose!
wow, Cyber, never before heard about Clinton's meeting with family of soldier killed in Bosnia.
'..they lack the courage to overcome the evil that lives in their own hearts..'
agree, so they attempt to transfer it to the President. But, his faith, goodness and honesty repels their hatred.
ohhhh, snugs, thank you for the beautiful picture of GWB and Robin. I, too, read how protective he became of his mother after Robin died. Imagine....he was conscious of others feelings at such a young age.
picture of freepers looks like it's from yesterday's Freep in Crawford. Freepers came from various states to show support for our troops, our country and our great President. Jeffhead was kind enough to receive phone calls from those who were in attendance and then periodically post updates so we knew how many freepers were there and what was happening. Wished i could have been there.
Thank you Wolfstar for a great weekend dose. I appreciate all your efforts at posting the pictures.
Hi, hoosierpearl. Glad you enjoyed this special thread.
Thank you, kind lady. Sorry I'm so late getting back to you but please know I just love this. ((snugs))
