George H.W. Bush Shaves Head In Support For Cancer Patient

President George H. W. Bush this week joined members of his Secret Service detail on Walker’s Point in shaving his head to show his support for the 2-year-old son of a detail member.

The child is being treated for leukemia and started losing his hair. The 89 year-old commander-in-chief took the unusual step earlier this week after learning, and seeing, that many members of his security detail had already gone under the razor to show their support for young Patrick, whose father Jon is a member of the Bush Protective Division (BPD).
