A phone call from Obama --- seriously

[Jackie]

A COOL THING HAPPENED! My nephew, who is serving in Afghanistan in the Army, received a personal phone call from President Obama on Thanksgiving Day. I posted a message here a few months back about an incident where Shaun spotted a suicide bomber and saved the lives of a lot of soldiers (including his own). He was wounded and received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Medal of Valor. Then he was selected to receive a call from the President on Thanksgiving Day....

Obama thanked him for his sacrifice. I understand he called two people from each branch of the service -- Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. And my nephew was selected. Whatever you think of Obama, it is definitely cool to get a call from the President of the United States.
