Mayor Becker continues to prove to be a person of conviction and compassion.
On Valentine’s Day, Mayor Ralph Becker will host a special breakfast with the wives of Utah’s 116th National Guard unit. The women’s husbands have been serving in Iraq since May and are expected be gone for at least 12 months.
To thank them for their sacrifices and help make Valentine’s Day a little better, Mayor Ralph Becker, in cooperation with Bambara restaurant and Hotel Monaco, will host the wives for a heartfelt thank-you breakfast.

Many prominent Utah politicians have used the rhetoric of supporting the troops as a bait and switch to support U.S. adventurism. Becker has found way to add more meaning to that phrase. What better way to do so than to provide support and comfort to the families from which the Bush administration has separated them?
Kudos to my Mayor!

That’s wonderful. That’s more than most conservatives have done to actually do something for our troops’ families. Yet they talk like they have a copyright on support for the military. Becker continually shows that he is heads and shoulders above Rocky since he has the ability to filter himself.
