Busy day today, started with a radio interview on local station early am. Great interview with Panama and the listeners in the Reno area. Followed by a Starbucks appt with Senator Williams. He is a state Senator in the Sparks area and was extremely supportive of the Honor and Remember mission.

We moved from there onto Caron City the capitol, where I had a scheduled ceremony with the governor. Christie had arranged a small meeting and flag presentation to two families in his office. One to  the Dragulich family in honor of their son killed in Iraq and the other to Mrs Drury in honor of her son killed in Vietnam in 1971. We had a limited time but the ceremony was extremely moving for all involved. I know it meant alot to the families to have the governor particulate in reading the certificates.

After a quick lunch with everyone I headed to Sacramento for the evening.

Tomorrow: Begin Hawaii trip,  more to come

Blessings, George

August 31, 2010 Meetings did not work out as planned. Had housekeeping to do with postings and preparing for tomorrow. I want to thank Christi and Ballard for taking amazing care of me while in town.

August 29, 2010 Put Patty on a plane at 530 this morning and then headed out for the long drive back to Reno with the Larsens. The weather was great, in the mid 60's, and the drive beautiful. We arrived safely 8 hours later. Patty did arrive back in Norfolk safely, around 530pm eastern time. Unfortunately on her drive home she →

August 28, 2010 A day spent walking with Patty, Kenny and his two friends from LA. Seemed like miles and it probably was. There is way too much to describe and we only visited probably 3 hotels. I will leave my opinion at the door, but there is an amazing display of money pouring into every form of entertainment and distraction. →

August 27, 2010 Today was a long travel day as we head to Las Vegas for the Hannity Freedom concert.  left the RV at the Larsens in order to save about 1000 miles of wear and of course the 6 miles to the gallon. It was better of course to get to know them and share stories of our kids. Very →
