George W. Bush surprises veterans visiting the Bush Center [View all]
A group of veterans were in for quite a surprise Tuesday while touring the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
As the group toured the Oval Office exhibit on Veteran’s Day, former President George W. Bush made a surprise entrance, speaking and taking pictures with the group of veterans.
“One of the things I’m dedicated to, for the rest of my life, is helping vets,” Bush said. “I miss saluting those who wear the uniform. And the reason why is after we got attacked on 9/11, I made it clear that we were going to defend ourselves and millions of people volunteered, not thousands but millions, such as you all.”
The former president has made veteran’s well-being and their re-entry into society one of the Bush Institute’s priorities. The institute hosts two annual events — the Warrior Open and a companion event and the Warrior 100K mountain bike ride — to honor the veterans and encourage them to incorporate sports into their recovery.
