2. Somehow, I can't imagine the Cheney's doing anything like this.
If they'd bothered, it wouldn't have been seen as genuine. We're batting 1,000 with our VPOTUS and POTUS (and both wives).

It's great to have good people in the Executive.

6. Love all the photos, but especially the last one.
The baby looks so expectant.

Did Cheney and wife do this? Or were the wounded military personnel below them?
