Anyway, I couldn't remember what it was I (we -- Marines) liked about GHWB so much. Besides the aforementioned. It was the First Lady, Barbara Bush.

When President Bush visited the Gulf when I guess AT got his photo op, they came out to a few of the camps. I didn't see them. But the story went around that when chow came, Barbara Bush dropped her bucket on a stack of sand bags and ate with the Marines. Got her some MAJOR pointage with the boys
I heard her referred to as "America's grandma" more than once.
