Bill Clinton was scheduled to speak in the area (next town over) which is about seven miles away.. I RSVP my father plus one to go hear him speak and my brother took time before work to drive him over..

Clinton was an hour late and when he pulled in it was next to my brothers van, they had given my father a Hillary 08 hat and put him up front since he is a war Vet and in a wheel chair(they put him in front of the Mayor and the guards).. When they pulled in before they got out of the car my brother asked the head of his security if he would sign the hat for my father(and Bill took it through the window and signed it) Then told my brother after the speech he would be coming out the side door to have my father over there so he could meet him..

After the speech President Clinton came out and bypassed all the other people and went right to my father to shake his hand and tell him "Thank you for coming out today it's an honor" Then held onto my fathers hand(left one as his right side is paralized) while he shook other people hands and talked with my father for some time.

My father is still beaming from his experience and couldn't wait to show me the hat and call my other brother in Ohio.. A lot of people don't agree with Bills politics but as a person I have to say he is a class act to me and made my fathers day(one of best days of his life he said besides marrying my mother about 45 years ago)..
