Ronald Reagan's Jeep
Little Miss Attila on Ronnie's Jeep and the Reagan Ranch Center.
The coolest part of the evening was meeting three Marines at the event. Stacey McCain describes it a little bit here.
The Marines were on leave prior to their deployment to Iraq and were grabbing a picture outside the Center, since one of them was a big-time Ronald Reagan fan.
The good people at the Young America's Foundation invited them to the private banquet honoring former Attorney General John Ashcroft. They became the guests of honor, receiving a standing ovation. Since the next day was the Marine Corps anniversary, we all sang the Marine Corps hymn--led by John Ashcroft.
Shouts of 'hoorah' came from around the room from Marine veterans.
I couldn't help but wonder if the 'troop-supporters' on the Left would have treated the Marines so enthusiastically and so well? I'm told that at other events, organizers sometimes have to remind the audience to be nice and to applause. No joke.
