Bush will miss being commander-in-chief

On his last Veterans Day as president, George W. Bush went to New York to speak on board the Intrepid, a decommissioned aircraft carrier that now houses a museum.  He told the audience that when he leaves office Jan. 20, he will miss being commander-in-chief of the U.S. military. His exact words were: “The truth of the matter is, I will miss being the commander in chief of such a fabulous group of men and women, those who wear the uniform of the United States military.”

As your humble Pentagon correspondent, it seemed only appropriate to post the video for those who want to hear from the President on such an important day to those serve. So here you go. He makes the comment about three minutes in.

Happy Veterans Day!
