Bush Legacy Tour

ALAMAGORDO, TX- Alamogordo, Texas is a town that is well known for being the home of the first atomic bomb ever detonated in history. Alamogordo was a nuclear test site during WWII and you can see the nuclear theme in the signage and themes of local businesses that make use of phrases like “atomic “ and “nuclear” to sell everything from carpets to pizza. The town is still reliant on the military to provide a lot of local jobs and housing. Holloman Air Force Base is the largest employer in Alamogordo. When I had a young military couple tour the bus on Saturday,  I was surprised and delighted that they told me they had heard about our event in The Hologram, the Newspaper for the Holloman military base.  The bus tour was mentioned in the column that reports on things to do around town. The Bush Legacy Bus was next to the farmer’s market which had already happened earlier in the morning. Thankfully, we did not have to compete with fresh fruit and vegetables and had a decent crowd come through our stop. As with most of our stops through smaller towns, the people are pleased that we are there as a lot campaigns and national tours often skip over their towns en route to more populated areas.  We were happy to be there. The burritos at Eddies were worth the trip alone and the people we met at the event were great. At the risk of tooting our own Prevost bus horn, Alison from Alamogordo’s praise was incredibly gratifying and almost as good as the burrito. “You have done an awesome job! This was very informative and a unique experience that showcases the biggest failure in the White House. Thank you for standing up for our country!”
