George and Laura Bush

thank Maine families

OGUNQUIT, Maine – Former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura surprised participants in the third annual “Run for the Fallen” Sunday.

Dozens of runners took part in the event to remember the 65 servicemen and women from Maine who have died overseas since 2001.


When the run ended, people gathered at Fort Williams Park in Cape Elizabeth for a lobster bake. They were surprised with a visit from former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura. They wanted to thank the runners and organizers for this tribute to the fallen.

The Bushes spoke with the families of the servicemen and women who were on hand.

The Bushes even posed for pictures with each of the families.

 

 

I love the way he is spending his post-presidency.
