I'm sure you have seen these heart warming pictures before, as I have, but some events become more appreciated the more one revisits.
There are times in our great history when it becomes difficult to separate the man from his presidency. This is not one of those times... an ordinary decent man and his wife arrive at an airport just to express, in a neighborly way, their gratitude.
There's a group of ladies in the Dallas area who make and stuff neck pillows for soldiers coming through Dallas Fort Worth airport. They go to the airport and meet the ful incoming planes every week and greet the soldiers coming back for a few weeks R&R, give them a pillow, tell them they pray for them, and thank them for their service. The lady who took the pictures said everyone was so surprised to see George and Laura Bush recently just standing quietly in the waiting area with others who come to meet the troop planes. She said it was amazing to watch the faces of the soldiers light up in recognition when they spotted them and that many came over to speak and shake hands.
I'll tell you one thing. Say what you will about Bush.
He never lead from behind. He lead by example.
No political hay to be made here
