Chimpy and Soldier's Funerals

Can anybody provide a link to an article on whether Chimp has ever attended a Soldier's funeral or contacted his family to convey his condolences?

Let us not forget...

there's only one person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives and the kids on the death of their loved ones. Others hug, but having committed the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug, and that's me, and I know what it's like.

Thanks in advance...

-Ken

8. He had stopped visiting the wounded after the war ended in May.

Now that they have started acting like we are still at war it looks like he can go back.

3. If he were to go to Arlington Cemetary

I think my father would rise up out of the ground to drive him away. Bush wouldn't dare go there to foul that hallowed ground. There are limits, even for him.

7. No problem

AWOL from the nat'l guard, AWOL from the funerals. Chimpy is consistent at shirking duty if nothing else. :grr:

9. I posted last week

that this is the worst trait about this guy occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.That for POLITICAL REASONS ALONE he won't show up at soldiers funerals.He is a COWARD,a disgrace a puppet who does what he is told and doesn't do what Rove doesn't want him to do.These are the people who promised they would not run the country like they said the Clintons did-by polls.What a joke what frauds what liars what theifs they gotta go and they will-the GOP will be shocked to find they have lost the military vote.

10. Just before the war began I remember reading

or seeing on TV how the White House had condolence cards printed up with a message from the preznit for bereaved families. I've never heard of anyone receiving one, or of anyone contacted in any way. There have been two local deaths here, but no press accounts of messages from *.
