George H.W. Bush Shaves Head In Support Of Cancer Victim

George H.W. Bush showed off a new hairstyle on Twitter this afternoon.

41, the beloved president and decorative sock enthusiast, shaved his head in support of the son of one his security detail. The little boy, Patrick, age two, and is currently battling leukemia.

President Bush’s entire detail joined in solidarity with Patrick. Jim McGrath, H.W.’s spokesman, tweeted pictures of the former President and Patrick alongside the security team; all were smiling, proudly displaying their newly shaven heads.

A battle close to their hearts, President and Mrs. Bush tragically lost their daughter, Robin, aged four, almost sixty years ago to leukemia. The Bushes are said to have donated money to help pay for Patrick’s medical bills. Additionally, the security team launched the website www.patrickspals.org in order to help the family cover the expenses.

    I have nothing but respect for this gentleman. By far one of the classiest presidents in recent U.S. history.

      A security detail who actually wants to and enjoys protecting one of our presidents. Won’t find any of Barry O’s boys doing that with or for him.
