Bush Visits Wounded Troops Home From Iraq
Fri May 5, 10:17 PM ET
President Bush visited 14 wounded troops home from Iraq and watched as Marines twirled and tossed their rifles in unison in a parade at their barracks Friday night.
Lines of Marines in dark jackets and white pants streamed onto the field at dusk, marching and pounding their steel-plated rifle butts on the concrete, showing off the polished movements they display for crowds every Friday from May to August. A drill team of two dozen twirled their guns.
Bush and his wife, Laura, watched the parade after a private visit with the wounded.
