Off the I-15

As I wandered around the Sportspark during the Fourth of July event, I remembered the poll question that circulated the newsroom on Tuesday night and thought it would be interesting to pose it to a few people at the event. Here’s what they had to say.

What’s your favorite American icon?

Tim Silva: Abraham Lincoln.Why: He was honest and stayed with his vision when the country was split.

Terri Peralta: The troops.

Why? Because of “what they do for us to keep us safe and free.”

John Rader: The bald eagle.

Why? It represents freedom.

Jeanette Hayhurst: The American flag.

Why: “It represents this country through and through. Men and women have died for that flag.”

What do you think best represents what America stands for?
