Former President George W. Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush made a private visit to Darnall Army Medical Center at Ft. Hood Friday evening.

The former president and first lady visited with soldiers wounded in the incident on Thursday, as well as some of their family members.

“They also had a chance to thank Lieutenant General Cone, Colonel Braverman, and many of the hospital staff for the amazing care they are providing,” Bush spokesman David Sherzer told ABC News.

The man had his shortcomings as President, but compassion was never one of them.
