At Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington DC recently the Sergeant
Major of the Army, Jack Tilley, was with a group of people visiting the
wounded soldiers. He saw a Special Forces soldier who had lost his
right
hand and suffered severe wounds of his face and side of his body. The
SMA
wanted to honor him and show him respect without offending, but what can
you say or do in such a situation that will encourage and uplift? How
do
you shake the right hand of a soldier who has none? He decided to act as
though the hand was not missing and gripped the soldier's wrist while
speaking words of comfort and encouragement to him. But there was
another man in that group of visitors who had even brought his wife with
him to visit the wounded who knew exactly what to do. This man
reverently took the soldiers stump of a hand in both of his hands, bowed
at the bedside and prayed for him. When he finished the prayer he
stood
up,bent over the soldier and kissed him on the head and tol
d him that he loved him. What a powerful _expression of love for one of
our wounded heroes! And what a beautiful Christ-like example! What
kind
of a man would do such a thing ? It was the wounded man's
Commander-in-Chief, George W. Bush, President of the United States.
This
story was told by the SMA at a Soldiers Breakfast held at Red Arsenal,
AL, and recorded by Chaplain James Henderson, stationed there.
Pass it on...the press won't.

 

Excellent story, to bad the press DON'T get it...

 

Interesting....

 

Yes RP, very......

 

hmmmmmmm, you sure George Jr wasn't trying to lift his wristwatch?

 

nice story, but I'm thinking the wrist would be a tender area after having the hand blown off. I don't think the soldier would appreciate his 'stump' being grabbed by multiple people...

 

Yeah, unless it was a she, and SHE had really big *****.

 

Doesn't seem a bit out of character for the man to me.

 

LOL... yup. I'm with you on that. I enjoy my stump being grabbed in that situation...

Seriously though, pretty powerful story...

 

You guys are SICK talking about some girl with big ***** when this is about a man with his hand blown off, get a HEART and send the boy a girl with BIG *****...

Fast Gator, any connections to hook the boy up with?

 

Well if I had my hand blown off, I'd want a girl with big *****. That would be the only thing that would see me through it. I gotta hand it to the guy (no pun intended) to be laying there and have the president kneel before you must have been pretty inspiring. But ******* are just magical. They supersede anything presidential.

 

big *****.


i like big *****

 

I think if this story was about Clinton instead, he would have arranged for a big boobed intern to pay the soldier a visit.

 

Did someone say big *****?
