American Legion Conevntion in SLC, Utah (X-Posted)

[lady-j-usa.livejournal.com]

I just got back from Salt Lake City.
Participated in the American Legion Parade with our Flag car which we drove all the way to SLC & back, a 2250 mile round trip.
I got to watch Condeleeza Rice & President Bush speak at the American Legion National Convention. Also listened to Senator Orin Hatch speak. Missed Donald Rumsfeld since women were in meetings at the time.

I took a tour of Temple Square. It was beautiful. I took lots of pictures. They even had a "Healing Field" of flags set up inside of the square in honor of our troops.

Participated in a Troop Support/Bush Rally. That was pretty cool.

The mayor of SLC "Rocky Anderson" is a complete ass. *NOTE Utah is the reddeset of the red states, it is the most conservative state in the nation*

He organized an Anti-War Rally. He invited Cindy Sheehan to speak, but her doctor ordered her not to travel after her hysterectomy.
However, she was again the spotlight when she helped escort a AWOL soldier who ran off because he felt the was un-just, as he turned himself in.

It was crazy in SLC. There was the Anti-War Rally, a Bush Support Rally, a Troop Support Rally, an Immigration rally, and a "Death to Israel Rally" none of which you heard about on national news.

I must say I am glad to be home.
I have tons of pictures to upload some which I hope to post & share soon.

Three Rush icons...

I made a few Rush Limbaugh icons, so I thought I'd share them with you lovely people. If you take any, please be sure to leave a comment, give me credit, and refrain from hotlinking. Enjoy :)
