Lots of tears, claps and cheers over the past week for all the service men who have come home. Two weeks ago, I was there when three soldiers came home. Two were in uniform and one was home for good. It was great to see other people who were on the flight stop and clap for the heroes. Last Saturday, 2.15, I had the pleasure of welcoming five soldiers home. I went to welcome Jeff Moody home but when we arrived there was another soldier's family waiting. There were banners and balloons and great t-shirts. While standing there waiting, we discovered that there were three other heroes on that flight. So at the same time, we cheered for five of them. It was great to shake their hands and thank them for what they are doing.
On Sunday, February 24, the Blue Star Mothers, Capital Region Chapter #2 is holding their First Annual Blue Jean Ball. It will be a great event for them and a wonderful way to celebrate their one year anniversary. They started last year in early February with five members and now are over 100 members strong. They will be giving out their Patriot Awards and the Freedom Awards. I have the honor of being a recipient of one of the three Freedom Awards. I should be giving each of them an award for what they are doing for us!
Here's a picture of Mom, Dad and wife greeting their soldier!
Next week I will be my first meeting as Chair of the Bethlehem Republican Committee. I'm looking forward to rebuilding the committee and getting us ready for a big year in 2009. One of our first projects is completing our bylaws and hosting a fund raiser on May 15. We have two speakers scheduled for that event and they will be great. It will be an exciting year for the Bethlehem GOP!
