It's stories like these that hopefully we all come together and put aside our differences to just enjoy. I know seeing the man's reaction made my night.
And no, this is not a story to boost Obama, but rather to remind us all that it is due to the bravery and courage of men like this man that we are able to argue here this evening instead of being under Nazi rule.
After his speech in Normandy, a crush of people tried to get close to the President to shake his hand. I noticed this guy waiting patiently and then literally being pushed back into the crowd. I felt bad for him, and mentioned the incident to the Presidents trip director, Marvin Nicholson. Marvin pulled the guy out of the crowd, found him a wheel chair, and brought him over to meet the President. He was a French veteran. The mans face shows his emotion.
