From a loyal reader and proud dad:

I just hit the paypal button for $50. Count me as a supporter.
You’ve had a couple of mentions in The Corner today about George W Bush supporting military families. Can I relay a story about him also? In 2007 President Bush flew to the Marine base at Quantico have lunch with a group of new second lieutenants, all infantry officers. He spoke to them as a group, and many of them individually, and then sat with for lunch in the cafeteria. My son was in that group. The fact that he took time to visit with those young men, most of whom were deploying to combat within the year, is a powerful statement of the man’s character. He didn’t have to make that trip, and spend a couple of hours with a small group of Marines. But he did, and he earned my respect and gratitude in a way that is hard to put into words. My son is heading to Afghanistan shortly for his second combat tour, and I wish President Bush was still his commander-in-chief.
