Or if he knows a Mr Renew from Martinez, Ga.
I found this in my travels.
Wants proof Bush served in military
No doubt about it, President George W. Bush is a very popular man. If he could walk on water, he would be more popular than Jesus.
On April 21, there was a picture of Mr. Bush, first lady Laura Bush and former POWs - Chief Warrant Officer Ronald D. Young Jr. and Chief Warrant Officer David S. Williams - on the Front Page of The Chronicle. I knew Mr. Bush wasn't going to let that photo op pass him by.
As popular as he is, not one person to my knowledge has come forth and said, "I served with Lt. George W. Bush in the Alabama Guard." An Associated Press article dated June 25, 2000, which I cut out of The Chronicle, says in part that they were looking for people who served with him to verify his story that he did.
Of all the men who served in that Alabama Guard Unit when Lt. Bush was supposed to be assigned there, you would think at least one would come forth so that President Bush could have a photo op with that person.
Retired Gen. William Turnipseed, who was a lieutenant colonel in 1972 when Lt. Bush was supposed to report to him, has said that to his knowledge he never showed up.
In Secretary of State Colin Powell's autobiography, My American Journey, he says, "I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and well-placed managed to wangle slots in the Army Reserve and National Guard units... Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their country."
As a Purple Heart veteran and former infantryman in South Korea in 1950 with orders to "hold or die," I assure you that no Vietnam War coward who makes it to the White House and the title "Mr. President" will ever have my respect, let alone honor.
