Former President George W. Bush repeatedly said that serving as the Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces was one of his highest honors.  His actions demonstrated his devotion to the military, and they continue to do so.  Even in the absence of the press or publicity, he continues to treat the troops as special to him.

See pictures and a link to a video of Bush’s visit to DFW on 11 August 2010 to greet returning troops.

Whether or not one agrees with his politics, his sincere, continuing appreciation of and devotion toward the US military is admirable, and appreciated.
