President George W. Bush and Brian Kilmeade Golf to Raise Money for Children of Veterans Killed or Disabled in Combat

Brian Kilmeade traveled to Dallas, Texas to play golf with President George W. Bush and two war veterans as part of Patriot Golf Day. Bush described the day, saying, “Patriot Golf Day asks people to donate a dollar of their green fees to raise money for the children of those who have been wounded and or killed in combat.”

Of why it is so important for him to participate in the event, President Bush said, “I want America to continue to pay attention to our vets.” He reflected on the courage of those of serve, saying, “We’ve got people who when severely injured, facing heartbreaks, say, ‘I’m not going to let that get me down. I’m going to continue to serve.’”

The former president and Brian were joined by Major Ed Pulido, who was serving in Iraq in 2004, when he was injured in an IED explosion. The blast ultimately led to the amputation of Pulido’s left leg. His two daughters received scholarships through the funds raised on Patriot Golf Day, something for which he says he’ll be “eternally grateful.”

Finally, the group hit the golf course. See if Brian’s swing has improved at all since last year!
