Milblogger CPT Charles “Chuck” Ziegenfuss, who sustained IED-related injuries in Iraq, met President Bush over the weekend. His wife writes:

Chuck wanted me to share a few things with you all. I told him how much you all miss hearing from him, so here are a few things he wanted to say:

“Great, now I’m surrounded by a bunch of Virginians!”

Current mood music: “Half the man I used to be” by Madonna (he’ll have to explain further when he gets a chance)

Notes to self:

1. “July is never a good time to visit DC – very humid.”
2. “When falling off a canal river bridge wearing body armor, it is never smart to fall in head first.”

One more quote:

“You can talk about our President, his politics, and his family, but you can never talk about his character. I met him face-to-face today and I will protect him as well as I protect my own.”

Read the rest.
