Independence Day




Yesterday was Independence Day, and my wife and I went to Heritage Park in Salt Lake City to watch Glenn Beck film his CNN tv show. He was in town to host the Stadium of Fire at BYU's LaVell Edwards Stadium.

As he sat down in the chair to begin rehearsing, the first thing he said was "OK, change everything on the teleprompter that says 'Fourth of July' to read 'Independence Day'. The Fourth of July is a date on the calendar. Independence Day is a holiday."

I thought to myself, Heck yes Glenn! We're on the same page! I just blogged about that yesterday!

Glenn was awesome. What a genuine guy. It was very evident that he has a deep love for our country. At one point he was introducing a segment and was talking about our troops. He began to tear up, and told the producer that he had to stop and start over. He simply couldn't get through it without crying.

Anyway, here's a picture I got with him. It was a great Independance Day.
