Smile Family Tree

The Christmas tree at Henderson City Hall was unveiled last week with a red, white and blue theme. The 12-foot tree features photographs of members of the Nevada Army National Guard 1864th transportation company, such as Sgt. G. Patrick.

Guests mingle during the unveiling ceremony. The Henderson armory company is deployed hauling materials from Kuwait to Iraq.

John
Wait until the ACLU finds out..... Those a$$holes will probably try and sue the families of the troops for putting up a religious icon on government property.

A couple of weeks ago, Pasco County, FL decided that Christmas trees would be excluded from municipal property because they were a religious symbol and their presence might offend someone. It offended someone alright; virtually all 400,000 residents of Pasco County! County administrators were bombarded with phone calls, letters, email, etc, many of them angry, but informative, notices advising the administrators that Christmas trees are a secular, and not a religious symbol. The County officials surrendered and allowed the trees to be set up.

Three cheers for common sense!!!

They're all idiots mislead by a communist group , otherwise known as the ACLU (American Communist liberty Union). For the
400,000 people that did what they had to do. My hat goes off to all of em.
