Stickman: Meeting Bush @ The Wall

Stickman: I went to the Wall one year and arrived very late and had no hotel room till the following day, so I walked to the Wall about 11pm and stayed for the entire evening on a bench close by. I actually walked through Georgetown late that night to arrive when I did, though everyone I knew said something about not walking through that neighborhood at night. As I sat there till the early morning hours, I saw a large group of men coming my way and I got up to say hi, as I was the only human there for the entire late night. It was Goerge Bush, and he came over and said hi and I told him why I was there. He didn’t like a lot of hoopla about his visits there, as he would have been mobbed during the day. He paid his respects by placing his hand on the Granite Marble and left. It’s just something I will always remember.

Question: Stickman’s stories about his encounter with the Vietnam Wall are priceless. This one no less. Has anyone else out there ever met a president?
