| First lady Laura Bush thanked servicemembers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan for their dedication, telling nearly 150 soldiers recently returned from fighting that they have the nation's support. Speaking at a rally before about 5,000 central Florida residents, Bush said the troops are the face of American compassion abroad. "You will have more impact on people than you can ever know," said Bush, who was joined by her brother-in-law, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and acting Army Secretary Les Brownlee. |
