President George Bush Makes a Surprise Visit to Returning U.S. Troops-Truth!
Summary of the eRumor: This is a forwarded email with
photos of President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, meeting troops
at Dallas Ft. Worth Airport in Texas. It said that they made a
surprise visit welcome home to our heroes returning home from deployment.
The Truth: The
photos are real and according to an
August 11, 2010 Los Angeles Times article former President
George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, showed up at the Dallas Ft. Worth
United Service Organizations (USO) facility located at Terminal B of the
International Airport to welcome home members of the military returning
home from deployment.
The article said that
the visit was a surprise for the service members and that the former
President and his wife "mingled with the returning soldiers, thanked
them, chatted and posed for photos."
Additional photos can be
found on the Dallas/Ft. Worth USO Facebook page.

A real example of the eRumor as it has
appeared on the Internet:
I miss George Bush!
This isn't just class, it's FIRST
class!!
All, just FYI, more pictures from President Bush's visit to "Welcome
Home a Hero", at DFW. As a note, he gave all 145 service members & Vet's
a Presidential Coin. No one knew he was coming and no one knew he was
there until they got to them in the line where they shook their hands.
Quite a surprise and special time to remember.
