In 2005, George Bush came to Yuma, AZ to unveil his plan for protecting our borders against illegal aliens and drugs. At the time, the Yuma area was a major crossing for illegal immigrants. In 2006, he came back to Yuma to praise the work of Border Patrol agents, National Guard troops (including my son) and to talk about the fence that is currently under construction along the Mexican-American border. He recognized that Yuma had experienced a major reduction in illegal border crossings.
On this latter visit, a temporary dais was built near the border at San Luis, AZ, just south of Yuma. Bush gave his speech, pictures were taken and he left. The temporary dais was torn down.
Some time later, the National Guard troops were ordered to bring another port-a-potty to the same area for the construction workers who were building the fence. Left to their own devices, the troops placed the portable toilet on the exact spot where President Bush gave his speech. Hence, the naming of the toilet by yours truly.
Way off in the distance, you can see the fence. In a future edition of this blog, I will tell you much more about it and show you pictures.
Oh yes...I did make use of the George Bush Memorial Port-a-Potty right after I snapped the picture. I am a part of history.
