Cove veteran presents Purple Heart to President Bush

DEPLORABLE AND TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, FOR SOMEONE WHO WAS AWOL FROM SERVICE TO HIS COUNTRY, BUT THEN WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM THE MORALLY CORRUPT INDIVIDUAL WHO RESIDES IN THE WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON – Bill and Georgia Thomas reported they were elated Monday when they met in the Oval Office with President George W. Bush to present him with a Purple Heart.

The couple was able to meet with President Bush for about 20 minutes to present him with one of three Purple Hearts that Bill Thomas received during his service in Vietnam.

"He said he didn't feel like he had earned it," Thomas said, noting the president looked thinner in person than on television.

This IDIOT just devalued the Purple Heart to a mere trinket.

For those who do not know, the Purple Heart is not only awarded to those who recieve wounds in a combat zone, it is also awarded to those who DIE in a combat zone.

At first I thought it was absolutely shameful that Mr. Thomas would even consider awarding his medal to someone who hadn't ever seen combat, let alone been wounded, but then I realized the REAL shame - the President accepted the medal!!!

As a veteran, I am absolutely aghast!!!
