Pfc. Jessica Lynch thanked only two politicians when she took the stage in her native Wirt County last week, her first public appearance since her capture and rescue during the fighting in Iraq.

Amid a hero's welcome covered by media worldwide, Lynch said Gov. Bob Wise and Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., helped reunite her with her family while she recuperated at military hospitals in Germany and Washington, D.C.

Both had aided the family, arranging flights and guiding them through the passport process. They even directed the building of ramps and railings at the Lynches' Palestine home to accommodate the 20-year-old supply clerk's injuries.



Notice how she doesn't thank Bush!
