President Bush was in Idaho last week, thanking the Idaho National Guard and other service members for serving in Iraq. As he pointed out, of all 50 states Idaho currently has the highest percentage of its Guard force on active duty. There are a few Idaho soldiers serving elsewhere, but almost all of the state's Army Guard is now in Iraq.
So, the people George Bush was thanking weren't there because they were away doing what he was thanking them for. Still, it was nice to be recognized and thanked, though a bit surreal. The President was in Idaho thanking Idaho soldiers who were in Iraq watching the President on Al-Jazeera TV.
