WASHINGTON - Nancy Sinatra may wear boots made for walking, but she rode to the White House yesterday on the back of a motorcycle. The daughter of Frank Sinatra was part of a delegation of Rolling Thunder officials and others who met President Bush near the South Portico of the White House.
Nancy Sinatra, who recorded "These Boots Were Made For Walking" in 1966, rode in wearing a knee-high skirt, dark shades and black cowboy boots. Rolling Thunder President Artie Muller was at the handlebars.
Rolling Thunder, which provides information about Americans missing in action in the Vietnam War and lobbies on other veterans issues, has endorsed Bush for reelection.
"I thought you were going to offer me riding lessons. Turned out you offered me Rolling Thunder's national endorsement for my reelection, and I want to thank you for your support," Bush said later in remarks piped in to a Rolling Thunder rally.
Bush administration bikers - budget director Joshua Bolten, Health Secretary Tommy Thompson and Veterans Affairs Secretary Anthony Principi - also rode motorcycles to theWhite House along with the leaders of Rolling Thunder.

I find this snub appalling.
It shows how frightened they are.

Some receptions look much warmer than others:
She has photos from Vietnam on her site (USO tours).
Vietnam 1 When people see war together, they are brothers ever after. Every American Veteran is my friend and I have pledged my service to them. God bless you all.There were many anti-war songs written during World War II, Korea and Vietnam, but a lot of them didn't address the veterans themselves. These two songs are good examples of how I personally feel about wars and the people who have to fight them.
"Home" "My Buddy"
Our armed forces should have our respect and our thanks. We should remember that every night when we are safe in our homes, there are thousands of young men and women out there in the world, far from their homes, just a step from harm's way.
There are still thousands of POWs and MIAs whose families may never have closure. We should make them part of our prayers each night.
Three of the best phrases in our language are:
Hi Mom, Hi Dad and
Welcome home!
Overlooked detail (a lot of people did not hear that Nancy Sinatra appeared at this Bush endorsement).
