The big news isn't that a Major General writes Congressman Bush, but rather that Congressman Bush writes bakc about a Sgt. Tells you what kind of family they are. No one gets any "points" by praising a Sgt.

One thing I remember about President George H.W.Bush is that he has always been known as a gracious correspondent. He is a good man. It is very typical of parents to write to commanders of new recruits in many military organizations and for the commanders to communicate to the parents. I know that when our son was a plebe at West Point we wrote to his TAC who had really inspired him and he wrote us back.

In addition, Sen. Dale Bumpers of Arkansas had given our son his appointment to West Point and he wrote our son to tell him he was proud of him and to let him know if there was ever anything he needed. Bumpers also wrote to us. Were we bigtime Democrats? Of course not. We were a military family who always voted Republican.

These newly released files really ring true to me.
