Got this in an email today. Thought I would share. Ft. Hood Down in Dothan , AL a man had a TV on in his office when the news of the military base shootings came on. The husband of one of his employees was stationed there. He called her into his office and the minute he told her what was going on, she got a text message from her husband saying, "I am okay." The cell phone started ringing right after that. It was an ER nurse. She said, "I'm the one who just sent you a text, not your husband." She thought the message would be comforting, but she immediately knew she had to let the wife know what was going on. She said, "I am sorry but your husband has been shot 4 times and he is in surgery." The wife left Southern Clinic in Dothan and drove all night. Miraculously, here is the photo I just received from my brother that was taken today in the hospital room. He is awake and will recover. His wife, who lives in Dothan , made it to Ft. Hood about the time he was waking up. Thought I'd share this great outcome. BE SURE TO CLICK ON THE PICTURE ATTACHED  Not surprisingly, This soldiers only contact from Obama was when Obama went on TV to downplay the incident!

There will come a time when even the liberals will miss men like George W. They may be starving in the streets, but eventually they'll see him for what he is, a genuine, caring man.

George W. came down Friday night with his wife. No entourage, press, or photographers. Almost totally unannounced. Obama came down four days later after a 40+ foot wall of CONEX containers was built around the area he wanted to speak at, III Corps Headquarters. Secret Service, FBI, every MP on post pulled to protect the Headquarters building, local, regional, and national news services and spent less than 4 hours on post. Traffic jams, gates closed, etc. all to protect the president. A man who bows to foreign emporers but not his "own" people. The man who said his "Post Commanders" had the situation under control! Note to the President, there is only ONE Post Commander per post. George W. may not have been the best President ever, but he is a damn site better man and human being. And yes I was on Fort Hood, locked in at work listening to the news on the internet because the brand new, million dollar emergency warning system wasn't activated until an hour after everything was finished!
