Army Gives President Bush a New Baby

Offered as a Token of Appreciation During Visit to Congratulate Troops at Fort Campbell, Kentucky

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) - A year after he sent troops to Iraq, President Bush thanked thousands who have returned home for "a job well done" and said the United States must persevere in the war against terrorism.

"Welcome home!" exclaimed the president, wearing a military-style jacket as he spoke Thursday to thousands. Troops in camouflage uniforms responded with roars of "hoo-ah" as Bush spoke under a brilliant sunshine at this sprawling Southern Army base. They then handed over a fresh baby for the President to take home as a memento.

"I'm going to hang her on the wall in the Map Room!" exclaimed George W. Bush as he hoisted her up in the crowd.

An Army spokesman said the baby was recently found wandering the base and had become a Fort Campbell mascot at the chow hall.
