Today, Oprah highlighted a visit she paid to Walter Reed Army Hospital after she left D.C. visiting the White House this past week. Normally, I wouldn’t have thought this could be anything but an ideological and/or political message against the war, but Oprah pleasantly surprised me. And these guys and gals truly deserve the recognition.

It was too heartfelt to skip any of it, so here is the series of interviews from her show today, 26 February 2009, in 11 separate segments. I know it’s a lot, trust me. But please, watch each vignette, most of which are fairly short, because these men and women deserve this adulation and recognition.

Sgt. Kelly “Special K” Keck, Army, West Liberty, KY

Thank you so much for these, MsU.

Not a visit she would have made during the previous administration; now that everything is all right in the world, she can do this. Still, she didn't have to make the visit, so many kudos to her.

Thank you so much for posting these. I think this visit may have changed her some. How could it not?

I would place a bet on the fact that Oprah donated $ to Walter Reed behind the scenes after this visit. This is part of Oprah that I can get behind. I think she finally learned of the levels of sacrifice our soldiers are willing to make for their country.

WOW ! Thanks for sharing this.

Not to be a whiner but why did it 50 or 60 million lies by the MSM and hundreds of millions in illegally raised campaign funds to make it OK to humanize our heroic troops? And suddenly the likes of Oprah are attacking Rush's devotion to America? (But I will freely admit that I have not heard Oprah attack the troops or Rush. But it is possible to damn with faint praise. Still give her points for showing up and not politicizing it.) End rant here.
