My Heroes of the Year « Knee Deep in the Hooah!

(The pictures of the visits with the wounded here just happen to be from The Daily Mail)

Yes, President Bush is one of MY Heroes of the Year! No, I am not talking about his politics, or his policies. President Bush is one of MY Heroes of this Year, and any other, for a couple of major reasons.

The big reason I name President Bush a hero of mine is because of his unstinting – tireless – role as “Comforter in Chief.” Oh I know his IS the Commander in Chief of the United States military, and goodness knows the msm has taunted him mercilessly about his decisions regarding his deployment of our men and women in the Global War on Terror. For what it’s worth, I believe that history will vindicate the President in his decisions. However, whilst the media has continuously badmouthed, been downright insulting, and ignorant, in their treatment of the President, they have missed what I feel is a side of him that more than a few of our military heroes, and their families, have seen. Whilst the media has attacked the President at every turn, like a pack of rabid dogs, he has been quietly visiting our wounded at Walter Reed and BAMC and in many other places.,,,

I DO have more – much more – and other Heroes of the Year that *may* surprise you,

Go over to Assoluta Tranquillita and read the rest here. Warning: it IS long!

bravo Brat! He is certainly one of my heroes for the same reasons you stated. I absolutely disagree with him on his policies around the free market, but no one can say he did not care about the troops. He really does care about them as a good CIF should! For that he has a special place in my heart.

Yes, I have been impressed with the way President Bush has shown care and compassion for our Soldiers and their families when wounded or killed. I knew he was doing some of this way back when during the ’04 campaign he spent time with a family who had just lost there son when he was here in Iowa. I had also heard of other times so it came as no surprise to me that this was something that he did many times over.

I have a feeling he may continue to write or call those after he leaves office.

That being said, he has done some things as far as economics that leave me wondering.
