Utah Festival Organizers Reject Christmas Tree Honoring Troops
Posted on December 5, 2007
Americas News Today reports on the idiots:
Organizers of Sandy, Utah’s Festival of Trees have kicked out a display that honors the state’s fallen war heroes. A woman who helped dedicate the soldiers tree says one of the festival organizers told her that the display did not deserve any more recognition than someone who had died in a car accident or passed away in a hospice.
Titled “Our Heroes,” the tree is dedicated to nearly 50 Utah soldiers who have died in military service.
Utah’s CBS Channel 2 (KUTV) reports festival chairwoman Edyth Hansen removed the tree from the main exhibit area because she said it was too tall — had more than one picture — and was not dedicated to children. Says Hansen — “Once you change the rules for one person you have change them for everyone.”
However KUTV reports several trees still in the exhibit hall also feature multiple pictures, honor people other than children, and are of similar height to the soldiers’ tree.
Sounds like its time for a little bit of backlash!

Sad…sad…sad…the reality is, where the tree was actually placed was at the main entrance. This was the perfect place!
That tree held such a presence of honor it was near impossible to miss.
If I were the decorator, I would have been excited to have my tree in such visible view vs. being in and amongst the other 500 trees.
Everyone going into the main event was reminded of our soldiers that have fallen because of the so called “rejection”. Sometimes these things just work out perfectly!
Don’t you think?
We have decorated a tree at the festival for 4 years in a row.
My experience of particating with this organization has been one of integrity, helpfulness and gratitude.
It really saddens me to see people attempting to taint their name.
To Deanna.
This PLANT first kisses the tree then tries to convince all of us that her “experience of particating with this organization has been one of integrity, helpfulness and gratitude. It really saddens me to see people attempting to taint their name.” This is what these ignorant far-left people - including the aclu - always try to do. Making people believe that everything is ok nothing bad happened so they can take over our cities. NO MORE! Just like Jay said here, “Sounds like its time for a little bit of backlash!”
