Gary Sinese-Presidential Citizenship Award and other random thoughts

I recently heard on FOX News a little while ago that actor Gary Sinese, who I always admired, received the Presidential Citizens Award from President Bush for his great support of our troops and the Iraqi people and his organization Operation Iraqi Children. In an interview with Bill Hemmer Gary said he was overwhelmed at the time and it went very fast. He said he was with about thirteen people from his family, His wife, children, parents, brother -in-law and his WW11 uncle were all led into the oval office where they met Bush and the first lady and presented with the award. Gary went on to explain about his Iraqi children organization that distributes books and school supplies and other needful things to children there and said it's such a joyful thing to see when a soldier gives a child school supplies and to see that child's face light up and the soldier's face light up because these soldiers are parents themselves both men and women serving over there. Gary also entertains the troops with his Lt. Dan Band named for his character in the hit movie Forest Gump. The Presidential Citizen Award is the second highest award a private citizen can receive. Way to go Gary Sinese. I salute you. :)

I am willing to bet you don't see that story plastered all over the front pages of the newspapers and news media. They are more interested in a guy throwing his shoes at Bush. What a jerk and first class idiot to boot. He must have been a Saddam supporter who misses the rape rooms, the torture rooms and mass graves and living in the twelfth century that Bush and our troops sacrificed so bravely to liberate these people from and give them a taste of freedom. I was glad to see Bush handle it with his usual grace, style and sense of humor. His reflexes were awesome too due to his daily work-out routines.

Bush has done more to fight aids in Africa than any other president by giving 500 million dollars in aid, instruction and medical needs to fight the disease and train doctors there. My own cousin vounteers for several months every summer to go to Africa in some of the poorest sections and along with other volunteers from his church, sends food and medical supplies to the African people and teaches them how to build homes, churches and community centers for themselves. He tells us how these are people who lived in mud huts and shacks and it is such a pleasure to see the pride in their faces and see them help themselves from his and the other volunteers' intruction to bring them up to the 21st century. But will the mainstream media talk about the wonderful work he is doing??Nooo, of course not. They're more interested in a guy throwing his shoes at Bush.
