A statement issued by a Bush spokesman Wednesday says the 89-year-old former president acted earlier this week at his summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine. That was after he saw members of his Secret Service detail with newly shaved heads to show support for the 2-year-old son of an agent. The child is undergoing treatment for leukemia and is losing his hair as a result.
The Bush spokesman identified the boy only as Patrick.
George and Barbara Bush lost their second child, 4-year-old Robin Bush, to leukemia almost 60 years ago.
The security detail has launched a website, www.patrickspals.org , to help with expenses associated with Patrick’s treatment.
what a powerful statement! it really helps the kids when people show such support during their illness.
Goyishe kupp.
Why doesn’t he help pay for the expenses instead?
He — and his Saudi Arabian friends — can afford it.
I hope the boy does well.
I always loved President Bush!!
God bless him
And I though Ed Koch died.
Joking aside, kudos to Mr. Bush.
Proud to be a Texan.
Hats off the President Bush!
Way to go! What an amazing man Bush is! I always liked them & now I see why! When the man continues his goodness out of the office, you know he’s an extraordinary man!
