| 'America stands with you,' Bush tells troops during visit to Wiesbaden |
| 2005-02-23 |
| President Bush praised thousands of troops and their families during a Wednesday afternoon pit stop at the Wiesbaden Army Airfield during his three-country European tour. Before heading off to the Slovak Republic, the president and other White House officials stopped to thank war-weary troops and give them a bit of entertainment for a job well done. "Laura and I were in the neighborhood, thought we'd drop by and say hello — howdy," said the military's commander in chief to cheering troops and family members. Bush had spent most of the day meeting with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in Mainz.... Bush said he wanted to give the troops a taste of home after their yearlong deployment to Iraq. "Today I bring you a message from back home: The American people are grateful to you. Your communities are proud of you. And as you defend the cause of freedom, America stands with you..." Gentleman. |
