Chuck meets POTUS

Readers of my blog know that one of my favorite milbloggers, Chuck Ziegenfuss of From My Position... On the way!, was injured a couple of weeks ago in Iraq by an IED. He's back in the U.S. now, and his wife (Carren) has made a few posts to keep everyone updated about Chuck's condition. Bottom line, as I understand it: he's seriously injured, but will recover everything that really matters.

In her latest post (and don't you dare miss it!), Carren writes about President Bush visiting Walter Reed and Chuck:

Yes, we met President Bush today. He is an AMAZING man! As human as we all are... and genuinely cares about the American people. I will not go into detail about what we talked about, that will be up to Chuck. Let's just say it was a day we will never forget. If you do not support Bush, that is your choice... please do not post your opinions (if they are negative) on this blog. I do not want a political debate. My husband met his Commander in Chief - and the honor was all ours.

I'm delighted to be able to say that when I looked at the comments this morning, they were all postive — no moonbat ravings at all...

Carren also posted some comments by Joe, a friend of Chuck's who visited him at Walter Reed. A sample (but don't miss the whole thing):

The reason I asked Carren to post this though, is not so that I can make jokes or give an update on his condition.
Today I got a slap in the face.
Today I saw my friend in a hospital bed in pain.
Today as we drove around Walter Reed I saw men on crutches, mending wounds.
Today I saw men who were missing an arm or a leg or both.
Today I saw a portion of what it costs others, so that I and people like me, can sit in my comfy chair and bitch about the price of gas. So that I don’t have to worry about explosions in my back yard or if the car behind me is full of C4.

Today I saw that they are doing their part and more.
WE NEED TO DO OURS!

Indeed.
