Class Always Shows
A doctor had his TV on in his office when the news of the military base shootings at Ft. Hood , TX came on.
The husband of one of his employees was stationed there. He called her
into his office and as he told her what had happened, she got a text
message from her husband saying, "I am okay." Her cell phone rang right
after she read the message. It was an ER nurse,” I’m the one who
just sent you a text, not your husband. I thought it would be
comforting but I was mistaken in doing so. I am sorry to tell you this,
but your husband has been shot 4 times and he is in surgery.
"The
soldier's wife left Southern Clinic in Dothan , AL and drove all night
to Ft.Hood. When she arrived, she found out her husband was out of
surgery and would be OK. She rushed to his room and found that he
already had two visitors there to comfort him.
He was just waking up and found his wife and the visitors by his side.
What? No news crews and cameras? This is how people with class respond
and pay respect to those in uniform. I sent my cousin in Fayetteville ,
N.C. (Retired from Special Forces) that picture of Geo. W. visiting the
wounded at Ft. Hood. I got this reply: "What is even better is the fact
George W. Bush heard about Fort Hood, got in his car without any escort,
apparently they did not have time to react, and drove to Fort Hood. He
was stopped at the gate and the guard could not believe who he had just
stopped. Bush only asks for directions to the hospital then drove on.
The gate guard called that "The President is on Fort Hood and driving to
the hospital"...
The base went bananas looking for Obama. When
they found it was Bush, they immediately offered escort. Bush simply
told them it was o.k. and to let him visit the wounded and the
dependents of the dead.
He stayed at Fort Hood for over six hours, and was finally asked to leave by a message from the White House.
Obama flew in days later and held a "photo opportunity" session in a gym, and did not even go to the hospital.
All this I picked up from two soldiers here who happened to be at Fort
Hood when it happened. The nurse in the wounded solider's room took
this photo:
