I am not really a big Bush fan, but I understand why he is doing it. It makes me think about Lent (where you give up something to strengthen your faith before Easter). Although, it is not a big sacrifice in comparison to the sons/daughters/mothers/fathers etc. who have given their lives for our freedom...I commend him for giving respect where it is due.
