Attached
is a picture of one of my best friends in the Army, Mike McNaughton.
We were privates together in 1990-1994. He stepped on a landmine in
Afghanistan Christmas 2002. President Bush came to visit the wounded
in the hospital. He told Mike that when he could run a mile, that
they would go on a run together.
True
to his word, he called Mike every month or so to see how he was doing.
Well, last week they went on the run, 1 mile with the president. Not
something you'll see in the news, but seeing the president taking
the time to say thank you to the wounded and to give hope to one of
my best friends was one of the greatest/best things I have seen in
my life. It almost sounds like a corny email chain letter, but God
bless him.
Love,
Justin
