PRESIDENT BUSH HOSTED THE SECOND ANNUAL WARRIOR OPEN GOLF TOURNAMENT

[Patricia M. McBride]

This man loved our fine young men and women that fought and continue fighting valiantly. He had the utmost respect for them and felt totally responsible for putting them in harms way. I might not have agreed with everything he did, but he had a respect for the American people and our fighting men and women.  He was a humble man who greatly respected the office of the president as well..............unlike the current resident of OUR white house.  The article predates the event which has already taken place, and I am posting to give info about the event.

DALLAS, TX (June 6, 2012) – The George W. Bush Presidential Center today opened applications for the second Warrior Open, a two-day golf tournament featuring members of the U.S. Armed Forces who served their country honorably and were severely wounded during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.    

The Warrior Open is a 36-hole competition at Las Colinas Country Club in the Dallas area on September 24-25, 2012.  The tournament will honor all those who serve and sacrifice to defend the United States of America, and will herald the many organizations that give their time, talents and resources to support the men and women of our military and their families.

How many people hae been killed?

[Patricia M. McBride]

Amanda, he used the dead for props for his photo shoots when he was asked not to. He does not provide money for anything dear. The congress does that and it is our money. In fact, Amanda, aside from getting a lot more troops killed, because of his giant ego and n need to make himself look important by leaking secrets about what we were doing thereby getting a great many more people killed and that is documentable. His policies have also gotten more of our fighting men killed, he has mass murdered babies, and starting in January he will begin killing off the elderly, so he is no better than a Hitler and is the most devisive president I can remember in my life.  He hates this country, he hates the people of this country, and unlike you, I can't think of a single nice thing to say about him.  If you are such a fan of this over grown ego, perhaps you might consider going over to one of his organizations where they will love your liberal stances about this loser.

Patricia, I have no doubt about President Bush's support of our troops, nor do I have any doubt about President Obama's support of our troops. Here is what Obama has done as President for our troops and veterans. This isn't partisan.

He made sure that families of fallen soldiers could be on hand when the body arrives at Dover AFB, by providing funding for it.  He also ended the media blackout on coverage of the return of fallen soldiers. http://nyti.ms/glqN66   http://bbc.in/gWSSkA

He funded Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) with an extra $1.4 billion to improve veterans’ services. http://1.usa.gov/huhqfo

He provided the troops with better body armor.  http://bit.ly/hzSv2h

Created the Joint Virtual Lifetime Electronic Record program for military personnel, in order  to improve the quality of their medical care.  http://1.usa.gov/f4yaxW

He put an end to the Bush-era stop-loss policy that kept soldiers in Iraq/Afghanistan beyond their enlistment date. (personal note: my son will be in harm’s way for six fewer months with Obama as president, so you know I love this one.) http://nyti.ms/e2YQ7Q

He supported and signed the Veterans Health Care Budget Reform and Transparency Act, which made more money available to enable better medical care for veterans.  http://1.usa.gov/fN4ur1

He ushered through the largest spending increase in 30 years for the Department of Veterans Affairs for improved medical facilities, and to assist states in acquiring or constructing state nursing homes and extended care facilities.     http://1.usa.gov/gY8O3x 

He created the Green Vet Initiative, which provided special funding to the Labor Department to provide veterans with training in green jobs.  http://bit.ly/epwUQY

He oversaw a $4.6 billion expansion of the Veterans Administration budget to pay for more mental health professionals.  http://bit.ly/gjzTxX
