They showed up at the USO in the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. There they mingled with the returning soldiers, thanked them, chatted and posed for photos as proof of the unexpected encounter for folks back home.
The USO just posted an assortment of the photos on its Facebook page, which quickly drew a growing list of appreciative comments.
"What an AWESOME moment," Robert Rowe wrote. "If anyone can't see the President and First Lady's love for our nations troops, they must be dead or blind. May God Bless them ALL !" Richard Cruz wrote: "The look on that kid's face says it all...."
And Shirley Lovely Fry added: "A President and First Lady who love their country and their country's military." Read the rest of the story here.

Very classy move. I didn't always agree with President Bush, but I loved him as my commander and chief. God Bless America!
Fantastic! I love that guy, & his darling, classy wife.
That's the difference between our two most recent presidents. If Obama did this, it would be obvious it was for the good publicity. But these photos show that Bush truly cares about these brave men and women.
These photos show troops who are genuinely happy to meet GWB.
I have to wonder how these same troops feel about Obama.
remember when Palin visited our wounded BEST at Landstuhl RMC - Germany-
bho was in Germany at the same time--but- didn't have time-
to visit our BEST--had to practice hoops w/ a media babe---
bho did have time for the media-photo ops- not once but twice-- at West Point!!!---
I did not always agree w/ Bush-I did know that he honored our BEST!!!
