Honor of a Man

This story has quietly been making the rounds the last few days. President Bush and the former first lady made a surprise appearance at DFW to welcome home 150 service men and women from Iraq and Afghanistan.


I've never served a day in the military, but I was as moved by this as I was by the surprise Thanksgiving trip the president took to Baghdad in the early days of that war. He clearly remains steadfast in his commitment to those who once served under him.

The honor of a man is marked in part by how he honors others. There are those who seek to honor, and those who seek honor for themselves.

Do I miss the man who seeks to honor others? You bet I do.
