Why He Connected

Mr. Bush really connected with the military.  He also connected with other groups in the country.

And this is part of how he did it....

Former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, made a surprise visit to U.S. troops this afternoon.

They showed up at the USO in the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. There they mingled with the returning soldiers, thanked them, chatted and posed for photos as proof of the unexpected encounter for folks back home.

The USO just posted an assortment of the photos on its Facebook page, which quickly drew a growing list of appreciative comments.

His other qualities aside, you knew where he stood when it came to supporting our military and their mission to defend our country and our freedom.
