President Bush came to visit the combat veterans of Iraqi Freedom today at Fort Polk. Mike sat behind him during his speech. An article with a picture is featured on CNN.com. Mike is to his left in the picture, near the top with the black beret. You might even be able to see him on the news...I hope!

Here is a link to the CBSnews website. There is a link under "News Videos" that will show you a brief video clip of the speech. You can see Mike clearly on it. He even yawns once...LOL
