The Right Stuff
There’s at least one Hollywood celebrity who hasn’t forgotten what it means to “support the troops:” Robin Williams in the House. (Hat tip: Steven Den Beste.)
Got a good look at Robin Williams. He came over here for a USO tour. He ate in the dining hall and was surrounded by Marines. His table was across from mine. He had the four Marines he was eating with laughing. Other Marines would come up behind him to talk or shake his hand. When someone wanted a photo with him he would jump up from the table, put his arm around them and pose. He came over to our table for no reason and shook our hands.
You hear a lot about celebrities complaining about their privacy. This guy flew to Iraq on a C-130 and came to give, and the whole time here he gave. The theater was standing room only. The officers did not go so the lower ranking marines could get it.
