Today's Houston Texan's game was something special.

It was Salute to the Military day, and lot's of active duty, reserve and vets were in attendance.

The Golden Eagles parachuted in with the flag and the game ball.

The marine Silent Drill Team showed their great skill at halftime.

And the honorary team captains were a father and son -- one a decorated pilot during WWII and the other a fighter pilot with the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam era.

Oh, yeah -- they were also the 41st and 43rd presidents of the United States.

If you live here in Houston, you see the elder George Bush around town a lot, and are likely to find yourself at a game or a theater event with him. But I have to say that I don't recall ever being in the same building with BOTH the father and the son at the same time. It was an honor.

Oh, yeah -- and the Texas beat the 49ers, 24-21, taking them to 4-3 on the season.
