In November of 2003, just months after the invasion of Iraq, President George W. Bush made a secret visit to Baghdad to surprise the troops, thank them for their service, and serve them Thanksgiving dinner. You have to see the troops’ reaction when President Bush appears on stage. After he addresses our men and women in uniform, he spends time talking to them, shaking hands, and scooping sweet potatoes!

Watch the full video below:

Can you imagine the troops giving Obama the same warm welcome they gave Bush if he surprised them for Thanksgiving? HA! Say what you want about President Bush, but he has always genuinely loved the troops and they loved him back.
