Party Report

Just back from the California Republican Party State Convention in San Diego. Good Times had by all. The Manchester Hyatt (which by the way is owned by a Republican who is very supportive of the party) is beautiful. Visit and support the cause.

The highlight was this morning's presentation. On the dais, 25 veterans - 4 Medal of Honor winners, a Vice Admiral who spent 6 years as a POW in Viet Nam, a Swift Boat veteran, 4 or 5 vets who served recently in Iraq and Afghanistan, Men (and one woman) from all the branches, all eras, various ranks. One was the oldest living Medal of Honor winner, honored for his service at Pearl Harbor, another a SEAL who made me feel like if the hotel was attacked we'd be very safe. When I unpack, I'll try and get the names posted and some photos.
