Veterans Day Around GA 7th District

Every year, just after an election season focuses on the division within our nation, a day comes along that unites all Americans.  I’m talking about the eleventh day of the eleventh month when all Americans have the privilege of honoring our military heroes.  I’m talking about Veterans Day, and this year Veterans Day celebrations are taking place not just on a single day, but throughout the entire weekend.

Around the great 7th District of Georgia you can participate in activities that honor the sacrifice and love of country that our brave men and women in uniform have fought to protect.  America's veterans are second to none.  When our country called, they answered, and it is our duty to celebrate them on Veterans Day.  Please consider attending one of the great Veterans Day events taking place this weekend.

Arrival in Tampa for the 2012 Republican Convention

Vanessa Green, Gloria Tow, Kathy Statham, Judy Bailey, Rachel Little and Mary Adamski arrived safely in Tampa this afternoon.  The weather is beautiful so far.  We are expecting to have some ripple effects from Hurricane Issac.  The RNC has canceled most events for Monday's opening day.  Most of the RNC events have been moved to Tuesday.  The big welcome event/concert is still on schedule; as well as, all GA GOP events.

We have talked with many of the locals today and we were delighted that they all are rooting for Mitt Romney and the Republicans. We met a really interesting couple at dinner.  They were in their mid-eighties and have been married 66 years.  They can't wait to vote for Romney and move the this country in another direction.

Vanessa, Gloria, Kathy and Judy are spending this night at SpringHill Suites.  We were greeted in the lobby by a large number of  police officers from around the state of Florida.  They have been planning and training for this event since last January.  We feel very safe and secure.

Please look on look on the Dacula Patch web page for Vanessa Green's blog on all of today's events.

Look for more tomorrow.

Organizers of the Republican National Convention have postponed the Monday start of the four-day event in Tampa, Fla., because of the approaching tropical storm.

The convention will convene Monday as scheduled, then immediately recess until Tuesday afternoon, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Saturday night.

Tropical Storm Isaac is expected to pass off the Tampa coast Monday, brining heavy rain and strong winds.
