Picture of the Day - 3



President George W. Bush helps young volunteers wrap gifts for the children of wounded military personnel, on December 22, at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC. President Bush made bedside visits to troops, continuing an annual pre-Christmas tradition of comforting soldiers that he began after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.(AFP/Tim Sloan)

  • I was just thinking - Maybe one of the gifts might be better medical benefits. Or better yet, no more wounded military personnel to have to wrap presents for.

    And then I sobered up.

  • What got me was that this is now an "annual pre-Christmas tradition."

    I mean, this is the fourth Christmas of this war, and and end seems even farther away.

    This "tradition" will continue probably after he's gone.
