Our first stop! Henderson, Nevada loves our troops !We just finished our first rally stop since leaving Sacramento yesterday!
Henderson, NV has a great pro-troop community, especially the civic organizations who support the troops. There are a wealth of American Legions, VFWs wand Marine "Leatherneck" clubs in Henderson and Las Vegas.
At American Legion Post 40, where we staged this first rally stop, Ron Michalski is the commander and Earl Bishop is the Adjutant. Post 40 does a lot military family and veteran support as well as several community service based initiatives. For example they host a little league baseball tournament every year and they have also been collecting toys for the families of troops for Christmas.
In addition to Post 40 we also had members of American Legion Post 149 (Las Vegas) attending. Jon Sloan was present with friends Arthur and Pat Sloan who own this awesome PT Cruiser that has patriotic paint and decals all over the place making it basically a mobile promotion for our troops!
I'm in the bus right now boy are we tired!!! I need a nap but we are also on our way to Phoenix! Check back in with us later tonight for more details on how that rally goes!
