My Grandpa Roy Storey doesn't take his freedom for granted. He sacrificed a lot to immigrate to the U.S. from India with our family in the 1950's.
Today, this elderly man who came to the free world met the leader of the free world.
My Grandpa Roy was personally honored by the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush.
It's breathtaking for our family that the President spent 5 personal minutes with my Grandpa (all captured by television crews below), holding his hand, thanking him for his volunteer service, and then motioning over my aunts to join them beside Air Force One.

What a great honor for your grandfather and your family! I enjoyed watching the vid too and was glad to see that the president invited the family over. God bless.
