An Act of Kindness
I may have missed this (as it occurred in April), but I do not believe it was widely publicized.
Copperas Cove man to give president his Purple Heart
COPPERAS COVE – History will be made today when Copperas Cove resident Bill Thomas and his wife, Georgia, present President George W. Bush with a Purple Heart at the Oval Office.
Thomas said he and his wife came up with the unprecedented idea to present the president with the Purple Heart over breakfast one morning a few months ago as they discussed the verbal attacks, both foreign and domestic, the commander in chief has withstood during his time in office
“We feel like emotional wounds and scars are as hard to carry as physical wounds,” Thomas said
I can only imagine the reaction of the President when he received such a personal and meaningful gift. When you face all of the criticisms associated with being the occupant of the Oval Office I would think it is moments like these you cherish forever.
