Governor's Day---Hoo-ah!

Governor Huntsman and the Generals



Governor's Day was at the University of Utah this year at the Rice Stadium. Luckily the speeches were short and a minimum of awards were given out. It was awesome to see all of the men in uniform fill the stadium. My heart skipped a beat when I saw Chad. I am so proud of him. I guess I am definetely a Hoo-ah wife.

The jets and helicopters flying so low overhead were awesome too. The kids enjoyed climbing into a Paladin and helicopter. There were some fun activities and free ice-cream!
A funny but sad thing was that a bunch of guys keeled over because they locked their legs, or got overheated or something while out on the field. They were dropping like flies, but it is no wonder when they are wearing a black, wool beret in 100 degree temps. Whoever decided on the beret as part of the new uniform is a very despised person.

All of the men in uniform filling the stand would definitely be a sight to see. What a fun event to be a part of. We get a lot of helicopters from Camp Williams flying overhead and the boys love to look for them. Sounds like a fun day and I love the camo hats!
