Since Tom got to be so well liked by the White House, he was invited to the summit in late November along with the Congressional leaders.

This brought tears to House Minority Leader John Boehner’s eyes.
The real highlight of Tom’s year was his travel to Israel. Tom got to visit with good friends and see much of the Holy Land.
