George and Laura Bush visit Fort Hood wounded


The Houston Chronicle reports:

Former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, (pictured) visited wounded soldiers and their families near the site of the worst mass shooting on an Army post in the United States.

The Bushes made their private visit to Fort Hood's Darnall Army Medical Center on Friday night.

Bush spokesman David Sherzer said in an e-mail that the couple thanked Fort Hood's military leaders and hospital staff for the "amazing care they are providing."

As reported above, it was a private visit. No photo op. No fuss. Just a genuine concern for the wounded soldiers.

The White House has announced that Mr. Obama will attend a memorial service for the Fort Hood casualties.
