>       Gentleman, This e-mail came from a West Point friend,  Air Force
pilot,  retired 4 star  General.
  >         For those who do not know Dave  Borden, he is a former Black &
Decker employee who  lives in Hanover. His son Dave Jr was serving  in Iraq
and was badly injured from a bomb explosion.  Dave Jr has had over 38
surgeries to date. The email  below is from Dave about a recent visit with
President Obama, —-the email speaks for its  self.

>         Since Dave Jr. has been injured he has met  and been overwhelmed
by many, many political and  military “celebs”.  The list includes Bob
Gates, Sec. of Defense, who came into his room and told  him 3 or 4 times
that if Dave Jr. had any issues to  call his cell phone number.  It includes
Gen.  Petereus who sat and talked with Dave Jr. for  almost 45 minutes.  The
General recalled vividly  all of the circumstances around the events that
led to  fighting that Dave was involved in.  It includes  Sen. McCain who
arrived late on a Saturday  afternoon during a thunder storm, unannounced,
and  talked to Dave Jr. about how  similar their experiences with fate.  It
includes George Bush when Dave Jr. was invited  to attend the very last
Christmas party at the White  House for the White House Staff.  President
Bush  and his wife entered the ballroom and immediately went  to Dave Jr..
President Bush knew Dave Jr.’s name  as well as when and how he was
injured.  Dave Jr. had a picture taken  with Laura and the President that he
has  framed and ill cherish forever.  The list goes  on and on of people
coming in to meet Dave  Jr. and the other wounded warriors at Waler Reed
and Bethesda.

>         Yesterday. Dave Jr. was ordered to be at the  National Naval
Hospital with another 12 soldiers and  Marines to meet with Obama.  Obama
was supposed to  arrive at 11:30 AM.  He finally got there at 3:00  PM.  He
entered the room with the wounded warriors  and quickly shook each of their
hands.  He never  asked their names, where they were from, or how they  were
injured.  Then he left.
>
>         Dave Jr. has met  the people who really care about the military.
All  he remembers from Obama is a weak handshake.  The  others in the room,
younger and less exposed to the  people that Dave Jr. has met, were so
disappointed.  Word about Obama’s   ”insensitive” visit has spread to the
MATC ( the rehab  facility) at Walter Reed and throughout  Bethesda.  The
military sees through his  phoniness.

>         All I can say is that it is such a  dissappointment that this man
is Commander-In-Chief of  our Armed Forces.  He is an embarrasment to our
Nation.
