So, who went to Ft. Hood when it mattered?

by Skip

From an email:

Fort Hood
 
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:

 

George Bush at Fort Hood Hospital

What!!!  No teleprompter, news crews and cameras. 

This is how adults respond and pay respect to those in uniform.

From the person that sent me the email:

Whatever his faults, President and Laura Bush never had any trouble knowing whose side they were on. 

I miss them. Don’t you?

Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small "L" libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As TEA Party activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture again.

    Integrity and Honor, that’s been George Bush despite any of his shortcomings. And like theh fellow in the e-mail said, I do miss him and Laura.

    President Bush, by not overturning the ridiculous and dangerous Clinton-era decision to turn our military bases into gun free zones, bears some responsibility for the carnage, in which the perpetrator had ten minutes_TEN!_ to shoot unimpeded until _civilian_ cops arrived on the scene.
    Is Bush far more of a decent person than the Muslim Socialist we have in there now? Well, that’s not a high bar.
